    are you still buying photo books

    over the years , since i was 17 i started buying photo books of E.P. as i finally gave up on those rags and tell alls that were redundant and just plain b.s. I have amssed quite a large collection of great photo books and enjoy comming back to them now and again. I can't believe how many are comming out now , almost on a monthly basis , and thankfully most are hardbacks, it sure is a great time being a fan of ELVIS PRESLEY and most of the books yet to be realeased are going to be great additions. So do you still buyphoto books , or do you just wait to see what is available on the net.

    i agree both great books , 2 tomes that are worth their weight in gold , i must admit that there were quite a few pics that i have previously seen in other books and orderd snaps from bonja and getty when it comes to the lorentzmen book , but its nice to have housed in one book admitedly.
    There is just something about great photo books i enjoy , i wish that they were made available commercialy at your local book store , i wish i could say the same aboutsay the same about most commercial so called photo books , the lot of them just end up publishing the likes of other great books photos years later. I would rather pay a little more and own a book that is done by a fan and knows what we want and includes unpublished photos.

    Depends on the photo book...

    A few years ago, I purchased quite a few photo books but in recent years, have really focused mainly on the FTD books and an occasion book here and there. I recently purchased the KING OF LAS VEGAS book (which is AWESOME!) and am awaiting the arrival of the WELCOME HOME ELVIS FTD. I also have the YOUNG MAN WITH A BIG BEAT set with that great photo book, and luckily I managed to grab a copy of the FINAL CURTAIN set with the awesome book as well!!

    The upcoming GRACELAND book from Boxcar is also looking like one I'll have to pick up!!

    But again, as I said, in my case, it just depends on the photo book...

    TCB!

    i try to limit myself to books cds and good quality/interesting dvds, i don't vacation or eat out , so this affords me more money to buy more of these and be a completist , and judging by my waistline it's a wise choice. I get satisfaction out of seeing something like ELVIS books , cds for my money , one can only imagine what other great ELVIS photo books are on the horizon.

    i will also be getting the bootleg record book , i really can't wait for this tome as it will be a great read and looksy , i do wish that a cd version of a book like this was done or will be in the making soon , for me it would be a dream come true .
