Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Near Fine jacket. Book. Signed by Author(s) A bright, tight copy signed by the author on the title page. Clean, colorful DJ is not price-clipped, light rubbing to edges. Boards firmly bound, pages clean & bright.
If you are a fan, and have read most that is out there about Elvis, this is an interesting read. In a public library I had found a copy of a different title in the same 4 book series, same author & loved it, enough to buy all 4 books for my personal Elvis library of over 200 titles.
They are set chronologically, this being the first in the series. I read them out of order, but recommend reading in order, the later books all reference back to a previous one(s).
The author uses factual events from biographies and invents a side of Elvis (as a detective/ super sleuth) that is fun.
My only regret is that the author stopped the series at 4 books.
