ISBN: 1578602645Von John Boertlein stammt dieses 400 Seiten starke Buch, welches im März 2006 bei Emmis Books erscheint.

Ankündigung des Verlages:
"Nearly 30 years after his death, Elvis’s popularity is at an all-time high, and his legacy continues to reach new audiences — half of Graceland’s visitors are 35 or younger. With CD and video sales booming and more than 625 active Elvis fan clubs worldwide, it’s time for the ultimate Elvis trivia book.

Marking all the highs, lows, and in-betweens, these daily bytes of information are peppered with quotes about the King, “Blue Hawaii Factoids” (January 16, 1971 — Elvis is honored by the Jaycees as one of 1970’s “Ten Outstanding Men of the Nation”), and “Hound Dog Dares of the Day” ("Do you have the nerve to mimic Elvis at work?"). Affectionate but never cloying, and with an easy “dipping” format, Today in History: Elvis is a perfect conversation piece, treasurable gift, or impulse buy for Elvis’s legions of fans."

"If you don't want to know ELVIS, then don't read ELVIS - THROUGH MY EYES.

This story will reveal ELVIS's makeup and everything he had to overcome to be the performing KING you love. It is a story that wanted to be written and often wrote itself.

I believe, friend, you will find as I have, the moment the last letter of the manuscript was typed, that not only you love him GREATLY, but after reading ELVIS - THROUGH MY EYES, you will feel closer to him in person and you may love him and all that he was in his "no way out" life as a close dear friend. jHopefully, you will know and understand the truth of the man as I have grown to know ELVIS who crossed his river Jordan."

ISBN: 0966035291Am 04.10.2005 erscheint dieses von Patty Carroll geschrieben Buch bei Verve Editions und hat nur am Rande mit Elvis zu tun. Es ist ein Buch über dessen s. g. Impersonators bzw. Imitatoren.

Hier die Ankündigung vom Verlag:
"This book is an in-depth exploration of the worldwide phenomenon of Elvis impersonators. There are believed to be between 10,000 and 30,000 people who say they are Elvis impersonators from among the over 10,000,000 fans in every city in America, and every country in the world. For more than ten years, Chicago based photographer Patty Carroll has traveled across the globe to photograph over 300 impersonators. The fruit of the singular obsession of this self-described "normal person" is a fabulously funny, totally engrossing portrayal of a slice of life of consuming interest to millions of people throughout the world.

The book will be a vivid, exciting, richly colorful series of portraits of Elvis impersonators in full costume- ready in every way to have their fifteen minutes of fame- fully believing that they have been recreated as "The King." The portraits are presented together with commentaries and written responses about themselves and their relation to Elvis drawn from interviews by the photographer. A brief personal history of each of the impersonators will describe their lives; including their day job, how long they have been impersonating Elvis and their hopes and ambitions for the future.

The book represents the ultimate realization of years of research, photography, interviewing, talking, listening, hanging out, observing, and being totally immersed in the world of Elvis impersonators for more than ten years. There is no end in sight for this amazing culture - it continues to expand too fast to ever really document them all. The impersonators are a diverse, unregulated, self-obsessed and self-promoting group of people who all have the same fantasy of being Elvis. These men, women, and children range in age, size, girth, nationality, race, religion and profession, and include every type of person imaginable! Impersonators are at the core of a worldwide phenomenon in which Elvis Presley continues to be adored, admired, and imitated since his death in 1977."
