I might have to start referring to Christy as The Eternal. She has been and always shall be among my favorite models.

Fabulous, @parisienne and @Tagold Thank you!

Will you be making scans?!
I have no plans to buy it. The pic was from Patrick's IG account. $150 seems to be the going rate for these types of books these days.

To me, it's far from obviously worth it. Arty photos of streets or clouds or forests or villagers aren't worth a nickel to me. I'm only interested in photos that capture Christy's extreme beauty, preferably, in an erotic way. That cover shot, is classic!! A clean rendition of that shot in ultra high res, that could make it worth it. If the book contains alternate takes from that session, I'll buy it in a heartbeat. But I don't know what's in the book. Will there be any unpublished photos or alternate takes of great Christy pics? Or will it be pictures of rusted automobiles and landscapes with one or two ordinary shots of Christy that I've already got?

I am very glad to read this. Yes, there will be unpublished images! Only the cover of the book with this gorgeous photo of her printed in high resolution(as you said) and printed on quality paper is worth the money! Even this single print. I am sure the book woll be more than 100 pages, so the price is really a gift. I have been spending more than that for a single magazine and these books are worth much much more. Having the most iconic images in great quality and printed on good paper is priceless. Most of these images we love have been published in magazines and most of the time the prints are with poor quality and on shitty paper( French Elle, Interview, W, even some Vogues...are just a few examples).
So for adults like us to say that 150$ is expensive....oh well...

Here is the publisher description. It's 304 pages. The description does say that there are unpublished images, but does not describe exactly what photos are in the book.

Rizzoli Publications: Legendary fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier was known for his ability to capture a subject’s beauty and charm in a natural way, often without ornate settings. His exquisite and timeless portraits have been appeared in the world's top fashion magazines and luxury fashion brand campaigns, and have featured such high-profile subjects as Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Karen Elson, and Nicole Kidman. Demarchelier is perhaps best known for his intimate portraits of Princess Diana that helped establish her popularity and accessible public image.
