About the Book

More than thirty years after his death, Elvis Presley remains indelibly etched into the popular psyche. As the Elvis of myth has become synonymous with Elvis the man, the subject of countless books, articles and songs, it has become increasingly hard to discern who Elvis really was. By combining obsessive research with absorbing writing, Adam Victor sifts through the competing versions of events throughout Elvis' life and traces a young man's path to immortality. "The Elvis Encyclopedia" was created to help bring order to the massive amount of material written about Elvis Presley. In doing so, it stands as the most comprehensive book about his extraordinary life and legacy ever published. It is also a visual compendium of Elvis' life, offering hundreds of photographs, ranging from never-before-seen private moments to the extraordinary iconic images the world has come to love.With this definitive one-stop resource, fans and scholars finally have easy access to all of the information on Elvis' life and times, testing what is real against legend. Complete with cross-referencing and a comprehensive bibliography, "The Elvis Encyclopedia" surpasses everything that has come before it. It is a true testament to the legend that is Elvis Presley.

About the Author :
Adam Victor is a writer and translator and the author of "The Marilyn Encyclopedia". "The Elvis Encyclopedia" is his biggest project to date, the distillation of more than three years of research in libraries, film and audio archives, and private collections.

Review :
'Remarkably handsome volume ... As a visual compendium of Elvis and his times the work is outstanding, and students of rock'n'roll history have a valuable resource of quotes, pictures and facts ... Victor notes that his encyclopedia is longer than the Old TestamentA"; certainly to fundamentalist Elvis nerds it will be as valuable as the Bible' - The Times. 'The book is lavishly and lovingly illustrated' - New York Times Book Review. 'There's no denying that Victor has done his research ... The 608 meticulously cross-referenced pages deal with every aspect of Elvis's life and work. Happily, there are plenty of entertaining anecdotes in among the exhaustive detail' - Q. 'This obsessively detailed and completely entertaining chronicle by Victor of every possible aspect of Elvis Presley's life is mesmerizing and deserves a wide audience' - Publishers Weekly (starred review). 'For fans who obsess over the King, it's a certainty: can't help falling in love with "The Elvis Encyclopedia"' - Chicago Sun-Times. '"The Elvis Encyclopedia" not only makes a mesmerizing coffee table book, it's also a great gift for your hunka hunka burnin' love (and others)' - Vegas Magazine. 'Perhaps the most comprehensive Elvis tome ever' - Los Angeles Confidential.
