Together with their accompanying text, the 250 photographs that comprise this pictorial biography of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, tell the glittering story of the life of one of the most famous women of the 20th century.
This book had pictures that I have never seen before and I thought I had seen them all. Worth every penny
A before unseen view of Jackie
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I was captivated by this book. James Spada has compiled several well-known photographs with many photos I had never seen. He does not try to analyse or to delve into the behind the scenes. He presents the photos with a paragraph or two, and lets us glimpse into Jackie Kennedy Onassis's life. I was entranced by the pictures of her youth and the pure beauty and joy in several ungarded moments. A beautiful tribute.

Anyone interested in Jackie and her remarkable life will love this book.
This is such a wonderful book!

I really loved this book! It's an amazing tribute to Jackie, and the pictures are incredible. I've never seen most of them, and so many of the ones with JFK and John Jr and Caroline are so touching. Most picture books have a smattering of photos, but this one seems to cover just about every month of Jackie's life! It's really something to see her as a lovely little girl, maturing into a young woman, and then going through all that she did. The captions are very interesting too, and well-written. If you remember Jackie fondly like I do, you will want to get this book!
What a Beautiful Book!

This is a great book chock full of pictures of Jackie O. I've admired her a long time and haven't seen most of these shots--there's even one of her and JFK in a penny arcade photo booth before they were married! I expected great pictures from the book, but I was surprised by how interesting the captions are too--it really amounts to a pictorial biography. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who admires Jackie!
