Elvis: Vegas '69 is without doubt the best book on Elvis Presley produced to-date And it is something altogether new .... It is not a photo book ... It is not an information book ... It is not an interview book. Yes it has all three elements - and in abundance - but the way it is formatted -- presented -- is completely new, refreshing, easy to read or just to flick though - (when time is limited) - and enjoy some great photos of Elvis, or read some quotes taken from the many interviews Ken has conducted. And it is a quality hardcover with good weight paper. Well produced.
