The FBI Files on Elvis Presley
by Thomas Fensch (Editor)

Editorial Reviews
Download Description

Elvis Presley was never accused of a crime, but for years the FBI kept a file on Presley because of the crimes that went on in the background of his world: death threats made against him; a major extortion attempt while he was in the Army in Germany; complaints about his public performances, a mention of a paternity suit; the theft by larceny of an executive jet which he owned and the alleged fraud surrounding a 1955 Corvette which he owned. These formerly Top Secret Files show dramatically how the FBI and other law enforcement agencies had to react to crimes in Presley's world. --This text refers to the Digital edition.

Graceland: Going Home With Elvis
by Karal Ann Marling

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com

Karal Ann Marling, a professor of art history and American studies at the University of Minnesota, examines Elvis Presley, the cultural phenomenon, through the places he lived. From his place of birth, the two-room "shot-gun house" in Tupelo, to the fabled hilltop mansion, Graceland, Marling shows that despite international acclaim he never lost his Mississippi roots. Elvis often shared Graceland with "the guys"--an entourage of relatives, assistants and school pals--"like a teenager whose parents weren't home" and was not above putting a bullet through the television when he saw something he didn't like. Marling argues that through conspicuous consumption, compulsive refurnishing of rooms and garish decor, Presley knew he was thumbing his nose at good taste and consciously cultivating his own legend.

Images of Elvis Presley in American Culture, 1977-1997: The Mystery Terrain
by George Plasketes

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist

What could be left to say about Elvis? Well, consider, as Plasketes does, this question: Does the New England Patriot football emblem resemble the King? If so, is it intentional? E-worship is by now an accepted fact of American culture, but just how ubiquitous E-iconography has become is this entertaining study's subject. Comprehensive, well documented, possessed of a fine bibliography and filmography-videography, the book is a pleasure for fan and critic alike. Presleyphiles will revel in it, of course, and Presleyphobes (e.g., Spike Lee, whom Plasketes cites for whining, "I wish [Elvis had] never died . . . so I wouldn't have to hear about him every single day") will derive perverse pleasure as Plasketes helps legitimate their worst fears. A special treat needs mention: the discography, composed of songs about Elvis, from Adrenalin A. O. D.'s "Velvet Elvis" to Frank Zappa's "Elvis Has Just Left the Building." Elvis-intensive collections, take this hunka-hunka burnin' read. Mike Tribby --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

The Impersonal Life: The Little Book in Which Elvis Found the Light: Graceland Edition
(Paperback)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

A Manual of Spiritual Teaching and Discipline. THE IMPERSONAL LIFE is the book that Elvis "had been looking for all his life." Why? Because as ALL Elvis biographers tell us, it spoke to him in such a clear understanding voice. It was so dear to Elvis that he began sharing it with the world by giving copies away by the case. It was ground zero for his self-explorationa and spiritual awareness. Here, Elvis found food for his soul, and he devoured it. We aptly call this the Graceland Edition of The Impersonal life "The Little Book in which Elvis Found the Light." Students of spirituality continue to find it so.

In Search of Elvis: Music, Race, Art, Religion
by Vernon Chadwick (Editor), International Conference on Elvis Presley 1995

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist

Good news for Elvoids! The latest entry for the discriminating worshiper rises from the ashes of an academic conference and consists of essays reflecting the range of academic inquiry about the King. Highlights include M. Gottdiener's "Dead Elvis as Other Jesus," Elvis MacLeod's "Generation E," and Peter Nazareth's imaginative "Elvis as Anthology" (Nazareth, by the way, teaches a graduate-level seminar on Elvis--so there!). Less academic, perhaps, but equally important to pop-culture fans are... read more --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
