I finally found this one online, second-hand since it's out of print here.
The one on Cary Grant was better. The change of writer is felt. The writing in this one is often very partial and superficial. I didn't get this to learn what Scott Eyman thought of Ingrid Bergman's looks in each role or photograph, but alas.
Also this edition comes in Spanish, Italian and Portuguese and each translation is deplorable. I often had to cross-reference all 3 languages to get the gist of what had been written originally, since it was apparent, particularly in photo captions, the translators weren't familiar with the films.
I did learn some new information, mainly concerning her early career in Sweden and the photography makes the book worth it.
