The phrase "it turned out"

[Joe]

I was reading about this phrase from a Google search. I would like to know if it is ever correct to say:

The book 'turned out' beautiful. Could this be a short version of saying , The book turned out to be beautiful, which would be correct as beautiful is an adjective?
Is it also a way of saying , The book became beautiful.

Or should one always say, The book turned out beautifully.

[Alan]

I would prefer: The book turned out to be beautiful, which means that in the end the book looked beautiful and that adjective refers to the noun book and not the verb turned out. If you say something turned out beautifully, you are using the adverb beautifully to describe the process of turning out or being produced.
