i have 8 of paul lichters books , and have the opourtunity to buy 2 more this week by a friend who is selling off some of his book collection. My fave lichter books are THNAK YOU VERY MUCH, E.P. IN CONCERT. FROM THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE , and MAGIC MOMENTS . My good friend will be selling his copies of REBEL HEART and ALL MY BEST . i'm wondering if any other fans have any of these and if they are good books , sure would appreciate any help , many thanks.

I have Rebel Heart quite a nice book most of the pics are full page and colour, some quite rare pics were published in this book. Like Elvis gettign a police badge in Denver i think. There's no info with the three pics. It does depend on how much your friend is seelign his books to you for. I think Rebel Heart isn't that had to find.

I don't have any of his books, but thats mostly for the reason that photo books are very expensive, i do have a few photo books, but i hardley buy any anymore because its simply not buyable anymore these days.

many thanks for your help and info , i to find that the photo books are quite manageable on e bay and amazon,most of the time. I do think when lichter puts out a book on his own he usually does a great job , with laminated covers and for the most part unseen pics at the time. Again thank you for the info , very much appreciated.

that is one book i don't have and have heard alot about , THNAK YOU ... is probably one of his best most of those photos came from a great fan and friend CHRIST TRANT , he has thousands of great photos. I believe LICHTERS BOOKS TO ALWAYS BE GREAT GEMS . he does his very best to print on great paper and was the first with laminated hardback cover books , everyone else followed sut , because thaey knew he was doing something right and what most fans wanted.

if it is photos of ELVIS you like there is alot better believe you me , take it from a fan who has bin collecting photos of ELVIS for 35 years on , try collecting books by tunzi, lichter, alverson .ftd, and now the erik lorentzen . These are expensive i agree , but they are loaded with photos , i gave up on those tell alls and rags years and years ago , eventually you will tire of these commercially produced books , and you will want books with more substance believe me .

Peter's books are pretty well reserached and are nto in the sytle of tell alls. Though they are not photos books. Judys Palmers books is a pretty good photo book are are Sandi Millers

yes absolutely , i did not mean to put down this fans choice in books , i just wanted to say that it was in no way a photo book and i found peters book filled with new info from 60-67, after that relies heavily on previous books. I also love judys past book as i do the behind the imeage books that featured many of sandi's photos . Again i know that these photo books are expensive and many a fan can't afford them as we all have priorities in our lives , but sacrifice and get one you will cherish it for many years.
