Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 1997

The most influential figure in the history of popular music, Elvis Presley is here presented in photographs chosen especially for this volume from the fabulous archives of Graceland, his Memphis home. Arranged thematically, Elvis begins with a vibrant portrait gallery spanning his whole career. A second chapter illustrates many of the thousands of belongings Presley accumulated in his lifetime, including planes and cars, personal wardrobe and stage costumes, guitars and gold records, followed by a room-by-room photographic tour of Graceland. Published to coincide with the 20th anniversary of Presley's death in 1977 and the 40th anniversary of his purchase of Graceland, Elvis is the ideal remembrance for fans from 9 to 90. Long live the King of Rock & Roll!

This review is from: Elvis: His Life in Pictures (Hardcover)

This book has several very interesting photos through the years...most, I've never even seen anywhere else; very, very little repetition to other books. Rare photos in the blue '70 jumpsuit with oriental trim, a rare photo in the white '69 karate gi, excellent photo in his '72 Conquistador suit, one of the best pics in the Burning Love red suit, Elvis in his funky western style mod cowboy garb (arriving in Houston for shows at the Dome in '70) etc. etc. Also has by far the best detailed photos I've ever seen of the orange target, bear claw, and aloha suits on display. Very neat room to room Gracelend pics. What a find. I absolutely love this book, among the best values around, too. Long live the King.
