    New 'Vault Book' Offers Unique Look at Elvis' Life

    New 'Vault Book' Offers Unique Look at Elvis' Life: From the he EPE Press Release...(& note that Priscilla has written the forward for the book)

    >>Elvis Presley was arguably the single most influential person in the evolution of rock ‘n’ roll, and as a result, there have been hundreds of books tracing his music and his rise to the top. This book, however, differs from the rest.
    Elvis: A Tribute to the King of Rock ‘N’ Roll from Whitman Publishing is a 144-page “scrapbook” tracing Elvis’ rise from the poverty of East Tupelo, Mississippi, to the elegance of Graceland. What makes this publication unique is the use of replicas throughout the book, items like his birth certificate, concert and movie posters, and event tickets. There is even a menu from one of his gigs in Las Vegas. It is a must-have for any Elvis collector.

    “From the outside looking in,” writes Priscilla Presley in the book’s foreword, “Elvis was a man who entertained the world, but to me, he was my rock, my best friend, my mentor, my confidant and loving father to our daughter. He has given me a lifetime of memories that I will cherish forever. I hope this book leaves you with great memories of Elvis, just as it has revived memories of my own, and that you enjoy it as much as I do.”
    'Elvis: A Tribute to the King of Rock ‘N’ Roll' is part of the Specialty Vault series from Whitman Publishing, LLC, of Atlanta and is now now available at ShopElvis.com and wherever books are sold. Click here to order

    Thank you very much Franny, what a heart stopper Priscilla wrote for the forward. She finally said what I believed all along about Elvis and her feelings for him. She has kept it to herself for a long time, good to see this in print.

    I dream a world where man no other man
    will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
    and peace its paths adorn...

    That's what it looks like to me. I have two of the Elvis Treasures. One to open and peer through and one kept sealed.

    I did the same with two of Elvis Monopoly.

    Thank you for the information Franny.

    That must be some list Franny!!

    Actually I had never heard of it either until I saw it on Elvis.com. And I did some further investigation and found that this book is also offered for sale on Amazon.com for MUCH LESS than the $49.95 that Shopelvis.com is offering it for. (I think Amazon listed it for $32.96)

    I got the Elvis monopoly and Elvis scrabble - just one of each and we play them.

    they aren't something I normally would have bought, but the owner of Crabing a Game sold them to me half price

    he was trying to vary his inventory and these didn't appeal to his usual geek gamer crowd.
