Perhaps it would be more convincing if she didn't have a huge amount of hair between her eyes and the book, or if the spine were broken, at least a little bit. It looks like the person who gave her the book hadn't read it either.
Marilyn reading Ulysses is more convincing, of course. Just came across "Proust at the Majestic" at the library and wondered if you've read it. The finger of fate is pointing me towards another stab at "Swann;s Way".
The Times presents this scene as part of the real: "It seems perfectly normal to see a model reading Proust while her hair is yanked and plaited. This is Paris couture." So if the book is a prop, that caption is highly misleading.
I haven't read Proust at the Majestic, Tom. If you try Swann's Way, let me know.
“Orange Crate Art” is a song by Van Dyke Parks and the title of a 1995 album by Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson. “Orange Crate Art” is for me one of the great American songs: “Orange crate art was a place to start.”
Don’t look for premiums or coupons, as the cost of the thoughts blended in ORANGE CRATE ART pro- hibits the use of them.

Elaine also says, "You're just thinking that she's smart because she's attractive." She may be right.
