Ankündigung:
"In 1956, Trude Forsher, a 36-year-old refugee from Nazi-occupied Austria, was leading a quiet life in conservative Westwood, California, with her husband and two sons. Life changed quickly for the Forsher family when Trude put aside her career as a freelance writer/stay-at-home mother and went to work for Elvis Presley and his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, as their personal secretary.
'She totally fell in love with the glamour and the life,' said her son, filmmaker and broadcasting Professor Jim Forsher. 'The next thing I knew, my mother was not at home, she was working all the time, Dad was not handling it well, the neighbors thought we were weird.'
During the six years Trude worked with Elvis and Col. Parker, she was a trusted member of the inner circle. If you wanted to get to Elvis or the Colonel, you first had to get past Trude. It has been said that neither the Colonel nor Elvis could have had a more dedicated employee.
When his mother passed away in 2000, Forsher inherited her collection of Elvis memorabilia. Last year, he began unsealing the cartons...box after box after box full of Elvis and Colonel Parker mementoes, all meticulously preserved, including a 45rpm record of 'Love Me Tender' signed to Trude by Elvis and his cousin; original studio publicity notes from 'King Creole' (along with Elvis biography); invitations to Elvis movie screenings; movie production call sheets; a 1957 Christmas card sent to Trude by Elvis from his new home, Graceland; Colonel Parker's signature string necktie; dictation notebooks; LP albums right out of Elvis's movie studio dressing room; cards; letters; the key to Elvis's dressing room and much more."

ISBN: 978-3-89602-726-9Im September 2006 erscheint in deutscher Übersetzung des Buches "Elvis: From New York To Memphis" (ISBN: 1933784016) bei Schwarzkopf & Schwarzkopf.
Auf ca. 300 Seiten mit davon acht aufklappbaren werden ca. 500 s/w- und farbige Fotos von Alfred Wertheimer veröffentlicht. Entgegen der Ankündigung des Verlages ist davon auszugehen, dass es sich sich um die allseits bekannten Fotos handelt.
Ankündigung des Verlages:
"Als der 21-jährige Sänger Elvis Presley im Jahr 1956 am Anfang seiner außergewöhnlichen und einmaligen Karriere stand, wurde der Fotograf Alfred Wertheimer von Presleys Plattenfirma RCA Victor beauftragt, den aufsteigenden Star zu fotografieren. Der junge und unglaublich fotogene Künstler stand dem Fotografen ungehindert zur Verfügung, und Wertheimer gelang es, die unbewachten und alltäglichen Momente im Leben von Elvis während dieses ausschlaggebenden Jahres festzuhalten: ein Jahr, das ihn von Tupelo, Mississippi, auf die Kinoleinwand brachte, ihn zu einem internationalen Star werden ließ und zum »King of Rock’n’Roll« krönte.
Als Wertheimer Elvis während des Jahres 1956 und später dann im Jahr 1958 fotografierte, schuf er klassische Bilder, die spontan, ungestellt und ohne zusätzliche Tricks aufgenommen wurden. Wertheimers Fotografien von Elvis, die in diesem Werk gesammelt sind, sind wahrlich außergewöhnlich. Einige dieser Bilder sind über die Jahre hinweg in unsere kulturelle Ikonografie eingeflossen, etwa das berühmte Foto von Elvis auf seinem Motorrad oder das wunderbare »Kuss-Bild«. Andere Aufnahmen in diesem Band werden zum ersten Mal veröffentlicht, zum Beispiel großartige intime Porträts: Elvis ruht sich aus, fährt im Zug zu seinem nächsten Auftritt oder bereitet sich für die Bühne vor."

ISBN: 0313338272Von Kathleen Tracy ("The Boy Who Would Be King: An Intimate Portrait Of Elvis Presley By His Cousin" - 1990 - ISBN: 1578150663) ist diese am 30.11.2006 erscheinende Biographie von Elvis, welche bei Greenwood Press verlegt wird.
Ankündigung des Verlages:
"Almost 30 years after his death, Elvis Presley remains one of the most influential performers and recognized pop culture icons the world over. His then-unprecedented musical style-a fusion of blues, country, pop, bluegrass, and gospel-ushered in the age of rock n' roll and paved the way for generations of musicians and singers to follow. A diverse array of performers-from The Beatles to Bruce Springsteen-cite Elvis as an integral musical influence and inspiration.
Not only did Elvis usher in a new genre of music, he also came to represent the growing dissatisfaction young people had with the mores and conventions of the restrictive 1950s. At a time when the top pop stars were Pat Boone and Andy Williams, Elvis' blatant sensuality on stage and his smoldering presence off it made him the anti-establishment poster boy. This biography offers a seldom seen glimpse into the life and career of Elvis, tracing his family life, musical career, films, and legacy. The volume closes with a timeline and bibliography. Today, the King lives on in popular culture-on Top 20 lists, in film and television, on the radio, in cyberspace, and yes, even in the countless performances by Elvis impersonators throughout the world."
