John Townson und Gordon Minto veröffentlichen den ersten Band aus der fünfteiligen Serie "Elvis UK - 33 1⁄3 r.p.m. - The Ultimate Guide To Elvis Presleys British LPs". Dieser Band umfasst die Jahre 1956 bis 1962 und wird mit folgenden Worten angekündigt:
"For those who have repeatedly requested a major revision to their original book 'Elvis UK', published in 1987, this new series focuses on the biggest section of that book - the UK LP section - though this new series will run to five volumes - an indication of how much detail has gone into each book.
As you may be aware, the authors have been systematically revising and updating every major part of 'Elvis UK', and over the last few years have published standalone soft-backed books on 78rpm singles, EPs, non-RCA UK LP releases, and compact discs. Their most recent book, 'Cover Story', published in late 2025, focused on every aspect of album covers. Each book has been uniformly acclaimed by collectors.
This first LP volume covers the period between March 1956 up to mid-1962 and runs for 462 pages.
So, what can you expect to find in this book? While it is tempting to say ‘everything’, it must be stressed that it is not a discography (i.e. a simple list of releases), as is commonly understood, and nor is it simply a collection of record labels, album covers and other illustrations. It is much more than that. It is an in-depth narrative account of every album and the story behind it. In short, it is the definitive guide to Elvis’s UK album releases. It includes:
- Every individual album release (including the three HMV albums) dealt with separately in forensic detail.
- Details of all the tracks included (titles, writers’ names) plus a swathe of background information, memorabilia and illustrations.
- Every album is carefully cross-referenced to later re-issues.
- A full song index, including modes, recording venues, take numbers and writers’ information.
- Many high-quality illustrations, photographs, plus a fascinating range of relevant memorabilia drawn from a host of sources, including record companies, along with material drawn from contemporaneous newspapers and magazines.
- Images of both sides of all known label and sleeve variations and a detailed explanation of the rationale behind each of them, along with key feature to aid identification.
- Details of label combinations, production errors, and other fascinating oddities that delight collectors!
In short, this is the most comprehensive work ever undertaken on the subject. If you are familiar with - and liked - previous Elvis UK books, then this should appeal to you also!"

Das nächste Buch von Paul Belard trägt den Titel "Elvis - Second Ed Sullivan Show: October 28, 1956", hat 212 Seiten und wird mit folgenden Worten angekündigt:
"October 28, 1956 was a busy day in the Elvis’ world. He rehearsed for his second appearance on the 'Ed Sullivan Show', gave a press conference, posed for pictures as he was given a polio shot. Then, in the evening, at 8:00 he appeared on TV, singing 'Don’t Be Cruel', 'Love Me', 'Love Me Tender' and 'Hound Dog'.
In the meantime during the same day, not too far off, a giant cut-out of Elvis above the marquee of the Times Square Paramount Theater was unveiled, announcing the upcoming premiere of his movie 'Love Me Tender'."

ISBN: 9783982561790Von Donna Presley und Karen Barnes erschien am 23.05.2026 beim "Booy"-Verlag das 88 Seiten umfassende Buch "Presley: Ein Testament - Glaube, Familie und ein erfülltes Leben" und dieses wird mit folgenden Worten angekündigt:
"'Presley: Ein Testament' – Glaube, Familie und ein gelebtes Leben - von Donna Presley mit Karen Barnes - ist eine persönliche Betrachtung aus dem Inneren der Familie Presley.
Dies ist keine herkömmliche Biografie. Es ist Ausdruck von Erinnerung, Wahrheit und Vermächtnis – geschöpft aus einem Leben, das in unmittelbarer Nähe zu einer der bekanntesten Persönlichkeiten der Geschichte verbracht wurde.
Durch sorgfältig ausgewählte Bilder und reflektierende Passagen eröffnet Donna Presley eine Perspektive auf Elvis Presley, die über das öffentliche Narrativ hinausführt … und direkt ins Herz von Familie, Glaube und gelebter Erfahrung blickt.
Es ist ein Buch der besonderen Art. Dieses Werk hat nicht den Anspruch, eine wohlbekannte Geschichte neu zu erzählen.
Stattdessen präsentiert es Momente – persönlich und aufrichtig –, die es dem Leser ermöglichen, Elvis nicht als Ikone zu betrachten, sondern als einen Mann, der von jenen geprägt wurde, die ihm am nächsten standen.
Es ist ein Vermächtnis. Kein Bericht, sondern eine Erinnerung von Donna Presley: „Im Laufe der Jahre wurden mir viele Fragen gestellt … und auch wenn sich nicht alles in Worte fassen lässt, spiegelt dieses Buch wider, was ich ein ganzes Leben lang – still und leise – in mir getragen habe.“

Der Stiefbruder von Elvis, David Stanley, veröffentlicht am 15.12.2026 das Buch "Broken Vessel" und dieses wird mit folgenden Worten angekündigt:
"'Broken Vessel,' subtitled 'Finding Faith and Forgiveness in the Shadow of the King' is David Stanley’s deeply personal narrative and powerful testament to the unwavering love, grace, and redemption of God. This candid memoir chronicles David’s tumultuous journey growing up on tour with his stepbrother Elvis Presley, his divine calling to ministry at the tender age of 12, and his eventual surrender to that ministry in the tumultuous years following Elvis' death.
It meticulously details David’s struggles with debilitating depression and feelings of unworthiness, which led him to abandon his ministerial calling and flee from God, convinced that a soul as damaged as his could not possibly be of use to the divine.
Above all, Broken Vessel is a poignant testament to the eternal love of God for humanity, and how, through the redemptive power of His Son Jesus Christ, we can find forgiveness, healing, and restoration to fulfill His divine purpose in our lives."
