DECEMBER 26, 2009 Hi Elvis collectors, NEW BOOK! ELVIS: THE KING OF LAS VEGAS!!! Please click on the photo to the right for a larger display of this great book. FINALLY, this incredible new 360 page - over 1200 photos hardbound book (covering Elvis' Las Vegas years between 1956 and 1976; his concerts, the holidays, his wedding, a list of all the stage suits Elvis used on stage and more) just arrived and it is even better than I thought it would be! This book is huge and HEAVY. To compare it to THE CONCERT YEARS book would not even do it justice as it is larger and thicker and comes with a slip cover and is filled with nothing but photos and photos and photos and photos most all in color! There's really never been a book as nice as this. This has everything in it you always wanted to be in a book covering Elvis in Vegas. If you haven't ordered it I have four more copies coming in probably late next week. If you really want a copy let me know NOW as this book is way too pricey to keep in stock. The price is $175 + whatever the postage will be but I can now see why David's Australian website is selling it for $225 + postage as this is a monster of a book. The cost alone to get it from Europe is around $50 per book!! I expect my price will go up to $200 and over REAL soon. We actually ran out of the first batch we got in but more are on the way. For further details please go to the BOOK page. GOOD TIMES FTD IN STOCK! The new GOOD TIMES FTD is now out and all orders were sent out today.

It deals exclusively with the concerts from '69 on and does what other similar books just tried to do! There is no comparison with this and another recent "supposedly complete" book! Not only does Stein reproduce reviews of all or most of the shows from various press accounts but he lists each concert, the jumpsuit Elvis wore, the attendance at each show, a detailed list of musicians and backing singers PLUS not only a list of the "normal" songs that Elvis performed during each tour but also a list of unusual ones he sang including songs that he might have only sung one line of!!! I can't begin to tell you what an invaluable book this is if you're into this period. And, if you're into pictures, there are over 200 mostly FULL COLOR photos showing the various jumpsuits he wore! An incredible book! 100% written in English! Please go to the new CONCERT YEARS REVIEWS page for two excellent reviews of this FANTASTIC book.
