Elvis, The Humes Years - Elvis Presley Book |

|
 |
 Elvis, The Humes Years -- Bill Burk writes in the foreword to 'The Humes Years' : '... Not until I began research for this book did I really begin to know and appreciate Elvis Presley. For, in talking to Elvis' classmates, teachers and neighbours, I became privy to Elvis' battles against hunger and poverty, his dreams ....to one day become a star...'. Trace Elvis' 'Humes Years' via first hand accounts of people who were there! This is the first book in Bill Burk's 'Early Elvis' trilogy which in itself set new precedents in the Elvis World. Chock full of ancedotes and rare pictures, this book finally sets the record straight on Elvis' 'Humes Years'. Bill Burk's Early Elvis trilogy are among the most critically acclaimed books on Elvis ever published. The thorough research and detail included means they provide a previously missing insight into who Elvis was during his formative and school years. Based on Bill Burk's decades of investigative journalism and his interviews with scores of people who knew Elvis and his family, the Early Elvis trilogy is an essential inclusion in any serious library of Elvis books. They provide readers with a picture of the real Elvis Presley, a person often quite different from the portrait presented in mainstream biographies. |

Elvis: The Biography by Jerry Hopkins |
|
|
 |
Jerry Hopkins's Elvis: A Biography was the first book on popular music to top the U.S. bestseller list, and its sequel was equally popular. Long out of print, both books, along with a wealth of exciting new interviews, are brought together in Elvis to form the most exhaustive account available of the King's life. Telling the complete story of Presley's rise and fall, from his poverty-stricken childhood in Tupelo through his musical development and emergence as pop's first superstar to his decline and death, the book explores Presley's singular appeal, his far-reaching influence, and his extraordinary legacy. Featuring newly published firsthand interviews with people close to Elvis — including high school teachers, girlfriends, directors, agents, recording engineers, bodyguards, sidemen, karate instructors, medical professionals, and even his personal jeweler — Elvis presents a comprehensive and amazingly intimate look at this cultural icon. Two books in one! | |
The Colonel - The Extraordinary Story of Colonel Tom Parker and Elvis Presley |
|
|
 |
The first quarter of a century of Parker's life is full of holes: remarkably little is known of what he did. This is perhaps less surprising for his early years as a child and youth in the Netherlands, but even the time following his two trips to the USA, when he was for a great deal of that time apparently a member of the US armed forces, his exact machinations are veiled, despite the clearly rigourous efforts of Alanna Nash to uncover exactly what he did and, indeed, who he was, for it seems he used more than one alias. | |

In Elvis and Gladys Elaine Dundy highlights Elvis' interest in the comic book hero, Capt.

Elvis' childhood collection of Captain Marvel Jr. comic books still sits in the attic of Graceland. | |
