Review

Coming from around the world and from all walks of life, most of the 750,000 people who visit Elvis Presley's Graceland mansion each year share one common trait -- they write on his wall! After touring the Jungle Room and visiting the grave site, almost everyone pauses at the long fieldstone wall to leave a message to the King of Rock 'n Roll. Like kissing the Blarney Stone or throwing a coin in the Fountain of Trevi, writing on Elvis' wall has become an essential tourist ritual. Daniel Wright's Dear Elvis: Graffiti From Graceland is a compilation of the best of the scrawled tributes and range from the hilarious ("If this was Disneyworld, I'd buy a pair of Elvis ears!), to the heartfelt ("Elvis, I came for a short visit, but a part of me will always remain. "), to the downright weird ("In the name of Elvis, I eat cheese!"). In addition to the hundreds of quotations from the wall, Dear Elvis includes an excellent chapter on Graceland's history along with numerous photos and some great Elvis trivia. Dear Elvis is "must" reading for every Elvis Presley fan. -- Midwest Book Review

ÒDear Elvis captures the spirit of the world-renowned wall at Graceland. Reading it is almost as good as being there!Ó -- Elvis World Magazine

If you've been to Graceland, then you've probably written on the wall, and this wonderful book brings back all those good memories! I laughed and cried at the graffiti Wright has collected.

Some of the stories people write on the wall make you smile, cry, laugh. They are the stories of life. This is a great book to make you feel better when you are down.
