SURE SHOTS THEY'RE IN 'VOGUE'

You could call it a history of fashion, but it's much more than that. On the Edge: Images From 100 Years of Vogue (Random House) is a sumptuous cultural ! safari through the last century, as shot by the likes of Horst, Edward Steichen, Cecil Beaton, Bruce Weber, and Richard Avedon. There's Marilyn, wrapped in a diaphanous scarf (she marked the photo with an X herself); Matisse in bed, snipping away for his paper collages; Nastassia Kinski, nude, wrapped in a boa constrictor. At auction most of these photos would command a small fortune-but at $50, the book itself is a bargain.
