Excellent Black and White Photos of Bettie
Just the pictures detailing Bettie's face are worth the price of this one. I had ordered, thinking these would be a different set of photos, and that some might be in color. Well these are all black and white, and not from the photo set I was looking for; nonetheless, the pictures of Bettie's face more than make up for any disappointments on this end.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Honestly, had I seen this book in person beforehand, I wouldn't have bought it for $17.00. It's very thin (1/8"), and the quality of the paper (not glossy) and printing feels very low budget. For me, it's the kind of "book" you flip through once and move on. Just browsing all the pics of Bettie on the internet is a better way to go in my opinion.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very Good Book
A great book of photos not usually see of this extremely sexy woman. Even in B&W she's a stunner. Good commentary, too. Good purchase on my part.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
