ISBN: 1610422171Dieses am 13.10.2010 erschienene und von Dylan Stance geschriebene Buch erscheint mit dem Untertitel "A Brief Look At The Oddly True Account Of Elvis Presley´s Visit To The While House " und wird vom Verlag mit folgenden Worten angekündigt:
"In 1970, Elvis Presley went to the White House on a whim to request a meeting with the President; his intention: to become an honorary Federal Agent. This is a brief history of what took place.
It still is bitterly ironic and will remain as a historical fact that the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, prescribed on more than 14 drugs at the time of his death, was suggested by Nixon to use an anti-drug theme in his songs. The whole of the Nixon presidency can be wrapped up into three words ‘war on drugs.’ Elvis, dulled down by the military, and Nixon charged with energy by the Presidential campaign, were desperate to win over America."

ISBN: 0313359040Für den 31.01.2011 ist das 264 Seiten starke Buch "Elvis Presley: Reluctant Rebel - Is Life And Our Times" bei Praeger angekündigt und wird mit folgenden Worten beworben:
"Elvis Aaron Presley was born in a two-room house in Tupelo, MS, on January 8, 1935. He died at his Memphis home, Graceland, on August 16, 1977. In those 42 years, Elvis made an indelible impression on pop culture the world over. Elvis Presley, Reluctant Rebel—His Life and Our Times probes both the man and his influence, delving deeply into the personality of its protagonist, his needs and motivations, and the social and musical forces that shaped his career.
Elvis's musical talents and liabilities are explored, as are his records, films, and live performances and his relationship with his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, whom he allowed to manipulate him as a money-making machine. Readers will learn about Elvis's personal life, his devotion to conventional religious and political beliefs, and his decline into self-destruction and death. Finally, the book explores Elvis's impact on the musical and racial revolutions of the 1950s and 1960s, his legacy, and his importance in shaping a generation of Baby Boomers."

Through My EyesIst ein im A5-Format erscheinendes Softcoverbuch, welches von Darrin Lee geschrieben und mit folgenden Worten angekündigt wird:
"LMP – Karma 2010: A Genesis Of Rebel DNA / Elvis – Through My Eyes” is an A5 format soft cover written in memory of Mr. Vernon Elvis and Mrs. Gladys Love Presley. As you will realize early on in the pages of this forthcoming soft cover, somebody noticed.
This project is dedicated to the daughter who dreams of redemption for a father that worshipped the ground she walked on and with whom she shares a magical connection; who dreams about dignity being restored to the Presley family name and has never lost faith that some day it would happen. LMP has identified a media campaign to demean her. In fact, the campaign has spanned 4 decades and targets not only Lisa and Elvis, but unbelievably – Vernon and Gladys. The “3-D Treatment” (demean, discredit and destroy) dates back many, many moons.
The 1976 Rolling Stone Illustrated History Of Rock & Roll features a 16-page essay by noted blues writer/historian Peter Guralnick. In his essay (and a revamped version in Lost Highway), Elvis and Gladys are alternately labeled with dignity-protecting adjectives like “fat,” “bloated,” “depressed,” having the “starch-fed appearance of so many poor Southern whites and blacks,” and lastly: “grotesque… like some aging whore.” In 2010, Peter Guralnick is widely hailed as “scholarly” and “sympathetic” – the hands-down definitive Presley biographer. Doncha’ wonder if LMP agrees?
You can catch up with Mr. Guralnick’s latest Elvis essay – a 6,000 word piece – in the crown jewel of RCA/Legacy’s ‘Elvis 75’ campaign a.k.a. The Complete Elvis Presley Masters. Skirting difficult issues doesn’t give us power over them or make them go away. It’s useful knowledge & workable solutions that are needed to break the cycle that generations of Presleys are trapped in. Under-stand, nobody in the Presley lineage is off limits – today, tomorrow or in the distant future. What’s goin’ on is not a fait accompli, unless Elvis’ pride and joy permits it.
Unbeknownst to Lisa Marie, I have dedicated much of the last 10 years of my life to researching and meticulously documenting salient truths about her dad. Against considerable odds, a path to higher awareness was forged with useful knowledge acquired in spades. As Michael J. Fox said so eloquently: “One’s dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked. But cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.” Presleys don’t surrender. They prevail."
