thanks in adavance,

Yes I too would like to know the answer to this question. I find it interesting that the cover to the colour edition is a picture that doesn't feature in the black/silver colour version - does this mean there are more photos from the same session in the later edition?

please scroll down to POST # 7592

under the book cover it shows colour pics of grace in black short dress from the jamaica shoot, now these pics are not in the version of the book i have, can anyone confirm that these pics are in the new coloured cover version of the grace book.

any help would be truly gratefull as it is rather expensive to buy the book only to find out it is just the cover that is different.

cheers

There is one great photo in that book from the charade night, it shows Grace bowing but it's of her neck and back.I have it in the Life magazine form, but my scanner is dead (really).It's SUCH a beautiful picture, wish I could share it with you all somehow!

These two were found on LIFE website. I'm sure some of you had seen it there.

Hope the link works

Thank you for these, SatineCharm. The link works just fine. I can't say that I am too impressed with the first photo, however. I think she is trying a little too hard to look sexy and it just doesn't suit her, imho. I also do not like her hair so dark...

I have never seen the such beautiful shoots of Grace Kelly. I'm impressed by the photos what I have seen. Grace doesn't need to be a model of perfection as she was herself by birthh.

I must admit Howell Conant was a great photogragher!
Thanks to him, nowadays we can see the most beautiful photos of Grace Kelly as an actress and as a Princess of Monaco, he was a Grimaldi's family photogragher!
