An interesting history of the Material Girl from childhood through to the one-woman powerhouse she has become. Whatever you think of Madonna and her controversial life and actions it is hard to argue with a worldwide sale of more than 200 million albums (this book was published when the figure was 50 million). And her latest album is selling like mad. Very good with excellent black cloth and spine gilt lettering. Price-clipped dust-jacket but d-j is otherwise good. ISBN 0283998059. . London, Sidgwick & Jackson, octavo hardcover, 1990, 153 pages, illustrated.
