Elvis® Remembered: 1935-1977

by Gillian G. Gaar

Elvis may have left the building . . . but he's never left our hearts. Remember Elvis on the 35th anniversary of his death with the only book that's officially authorized by his estate! The lavishly illustrated volume features images from the Graceland archives, more than 30 items of removable facsimile memorabilia, and a DVD with rare footage of performances, press conferences, and behind-the-scenes fun. The King's admirers will feel close to their idol as they pore through personal letters, telegrams, publicity material, and more—including his first contract with the legendary Colonel Tom Parker.

About the author

I write regularly about music, entertainment, and travel. I enjoy taking pictures for my articles and books as well. My very first book was "She's A Rebel: The History of Women in Rock & Roll," first published in 1992, and updated in 2002; Yoko Ono wrote the book's preface, and it still gives me a thrill to see her name on the cover. Other areas of expertise include Nirvana, the Beatles, and Elvis, all of whom I've written books about. I've also written for a variety of publications around the world, including Mojo, Rolling Stone, Goldmine (where I had regular Beatles and Elvis columns), and many others. I was also a senior editor at legendary Seattle music publication "The Rocket."
