Reviews

[Tanis · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good book full of interesting facts and stories, I've taken one star off because it's too small - it can be quite hard to see the pictures or even the text clearly, especially when they've used purple boxes behind black text.

[J Madden · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read several Elvis books and this was one of the very best - knowlegable, insightful and detailed. A perfect reference book for both a beginner or someone who is already a fan but would like to delve deeper.
