Pre-Owned Elvis : A Life in Pictures (Hardcover)

From his humble beginnings in Tupelo, Mississippi, Elvis Aaron Presley went on to become one of the most famous figures in pop history, sexily swiveling his hips on The "Ed Sullivan Show (to parents' consternation); making his mark in movies such as "Jailhouse Rock; and finally performing in glitzy Las Vegas nightclubs. Rediscover the highlights of the King's career in pictures that capture all these and many more precious moments. The earliest photos show Elvis as a child, and portray the beginnings of his career, including his first recording sessions and TV appearances; they also reveal more personal dimensions of his life, including his family and girlfriends. Follow him during his years in the army (photos show him undergoing a medical examination and getting the required crew cut); as he turns into a movie star; and into his final decade. An illuminating introduction and detailed captions put the images in context.
