In this deluxe commemorative edition, LIFE's editors focus
on the publication's achievements more tightly than they
ever have before: This is truly the best of everything LIFE
has accomplished. In these pages are the best war photos
ever taken for LIFE; the best photo essays ever to grace our
pages (including the works of Capa and Parks and Smith); the
loveliest pictures from Hollywood (in fact, the best
pictures of Marilyn Monroe ever taken by such as Halsmann,
Eisenstaedt and her dear friend Milton Greene), the best
sports pictures, the funniest pictures we ever ran. The best
pictures from the space race, and the most significant
pictures to the human race, including Lennart Nilsson's
"Life Before Birth." This is a premium volume of LIFE, and beyond its 200-plus
pages, which include a review of every LIFE cover ever
published, there is, included here, the ultimate premium:
The first-ever LIFE issue, with the Margaret Bourke-White
photograph of the Fort Peck Dam on the cover, reprinted in
its entirety, at actual size (which was really big 10 1/2" x
14") and able to be detached. We've come a long way: We, you, those places, LIFE itself.
This book tells, and celebrates, that voyage.
