The first concert in Asheville 1975 wasn’t on July 2nd, the tour that never was wouldn’t have started on August 16, the flipside of “My Way” wasn’t “Can’t Help Falling In Love”, to name just a few. Quite some irritating mistakes, being it print errors or other faults, give this otherwise nice addition to the bookshelf an unnecessary bad taste. Unfortunately the book could have used a good proofreader. Great live shots and nice candids make this book quite interesting.
The pictures of Elvis decorating the book have quite some “unseen ones” among them. Especially the concert stories (like the Memphis one) were interesting to read, making us green of jealousy for not having experienced it ourselves. Thumbing through the book searching for pictures we found ourselves reading anecdotes soon, forgetting about the pictures. A book about a fan, so what? It’s Elvis that counts… The foreword by Kathy Westmoreland presents the bone cancer story as a fact without any doubt or restraint, reason to stop reading immediately to us. Content To be honest we were not really interested in the book beforehand. The chapter and paragraph division is clear, which makes the book good to read. This is especially interesting because of the fair amount of pictures presented in the book. Is it a worthy addition to the huge library of “Elvis books”? Design The nearly 200 pages are printed on high quality glossy paper. This book by life long fan Sandi Pichon has just been issued by Apex Publishing.
