Hi everyone
Everybody talks about Elvis albums, songs and record sales but what about the sales of Elvis books?
Their have been so many books written about Elvis over the years certainly more than any other celebrity but I was wondering which books about him are really big sellers? I know Albert Goldman's book was a big seller as was Priscilla's and Elvis What Happened but I don't know about any other books and if they hit the best sellers list. For example Revelations of Memphis Mafia was loved by some but I don't think it hit the New York Times best sellers list, Peter Guralnicks books seem to be the most popular books by die hard Elvis fans but really how popular were they? Jerry Schilllings book got a lot of hype by EPE but how much did the book sell overall?
Does anybody know of any other Elvis books that sold well besides Goldman's, Priscilla's or the Bodyguard book?
Does anybody know what are the top 10 best selling books about Elvis?
I know Elvis books must be popular because that's how most fans get info about Elvis but just how popular are they?
I would like to get everyone's thoughts and any info anyone could provide would be appreciated?
I look forward to hearing from everyone
thanks in advance
i hope someone answers this one. i'd thought the guralnick books would've been in the Hit lists. and does anyone know who in Elvis' circle of friends writes the most? i was shopping on amazon.com the other day and found a bunch written by Larry Geller!
All I wanted was a white knight with a good heart, soft touch, fast horse

I'd have to say after what I've heard about Joseph Tunzi's Sessions III book, I would say its an essentail that I'm currently waiting on.

I know you and others have read several books on Elvis but I was wondering just how popular in terms of sales those books were.
