Best Elvis books

[dstrattenfan]

OK I have been a fan sine I was 8 or so, and I have in the last 4 years really deeply researching the King.

I have read E&Me, last train, careless love, Elvis (goldman) Child bride, Revelations from MM, and the death of elvis...

I know all the books say things different, but what is the most accurate book on him?

[my boy]

That's a hard one but you will find ELVIS -DAY BY DAY & ELVIS- A LIFE IN MUSIC (Ernst Jorgensen)very interesting,plus a book I've just read called THE LEAVES OF ELVIS'S GARDEN by Larry Geller about his spiritual side.(y)

Thanks guys! U know I really appreciate the help and I just love this forum:notworthy

I think Peter Guralnik's are by far the best, most factual and will give you some real insight into Elvis' world.

I really enjoyed both Last Train to Memphis and Careless Love.

The first takes you through Elvis's enlistment in the army and Careless Love goes from army through his death.

I have both of them, I liked them a lot I just want to get to know everything I can about him, but thanks for the help:)

Although it's badly in need of an updated version, I'd have to add the following:

"Elvis: His Life From A To Z" to the list of essential books and agree with all the others that have been mentioned.

Well for there are:
"The Elvis Encyclopedia" by David Stanley, Lamar Fike
"Me and a Guy named Elvis" by Jerry Schilling
"If I Can Dream" by Larry Geller

Me and a Guy named Elvis is a very good read.

Me and a Guy named Elvis
careless love

Those two are my favorites

If i can dream by Larry Geller is a very good book in my opinion.
