Dear Ale,I read on Grazielvis.it,that is a beautiful book(y)!So I think yes!Buy this book to have your opinion(y)!

Elvis for Dummies is also an excellent read

it gives a cultural context like no other book has attempted

Thank you. I have been leary of buying any new books. But I will get this one.

"Elvis and Kathy" is my all time favorite but it's very hard to come by.

The Best Elvis Book I have is "Elvis the Concert Years 1969-1977" written by Stein Erik Skar. Also the new book "Elvis the King of Las Vegas" is an exelent picture book. And of course "Last Train to Memphis" and "Careless Love" (Peter Guralrich) is very, very good.
The Guralrich books is the "Bible" among a lot of Elvis Fans..(also to me:notworthy)

Guralnick has written extensively about American music and musicians and is highly regarded in this field.

Enjoy your reading!!!

I enjoyed reading this one. He doesn't dismiss the drug use or the womanizing, but he doesn't get down and dirty over it either. Very funny stories, too. I loved one in particular - Elvis, Pris, Jerry and his date were in Palm Springs at a nice restaurant [I think, it's been a while since I've read it] Elvis and Jerry go to the men's room, and when he returns, he notices there's a line of people waiting to be seated, so Elvis goes to the next couple in line and begins to play maitre'd. Can you imagine being seated by Elvis?! :king:

I've just bought on ebay the book "Me and a guy named Elvis" by Jerry Schilling...I'm curious to read it and I'll let you know my opinion (y)
