About this title

Review:

Published to coincide with the 25th anniversary of his death, this is a superbly produced pictorial tribute to Elvis Presley that contains more than 600 full-colour and monochrome photographs and illustrations. Mike Evans compiled the pictures and wrote the captions with the authorisation and assistance of the Elvis Presley Estate. This has enabled him to include a number of never-before-published archive images and rare memorabilia. The picture-to-a-page format takes in all the major periods of Elvis's life from his modest childhood in Tupelo, Mississippi, to his worldwide fame as a rock 'n' roll singer, film star and Las Vegas-based touring show-stopper. This book is a 'must have' for all Elvis aficionados and will make the perfect present for anyone interested in the roots of rock 'n' roll.
