ELVIS
LIKE ANY OTHER SOLDIER
SPECIAL 50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION
In 1988, we first published "Elvis: Like Any Other Soldier." There, for the first time ever, Elvis fans enjoyed the text and many exclusive photos in an exact reprint of Elvis' original basic training class yearbook: "2nd Armored Division, Fort Hood, Texas 2nd Medium Tank Battalion." A soldier's souvenir of time spent at Fort Hood, this very rare publication is quite similar to a high school yearbook.
The total print run 20 years ago sold out quickly, but to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Elvis' army years (1957-'60) we're publishing a completely revised edition. Every Elvis photo or reference to him in the original Fort Hood book will be included in our 50th Anniversary edition ... and SO MUCH MORE!
There's also a recently-discovered Elvis military yearbook for 1959, "Spearhead 3d Armored Division," which came out only in Germany! It's so rare we've only seen four copies! Everything in "Spearhead" involving Elvis is also included in this new book.
Contains over 1,500 fascinating photos, about 1,300 of which picture Elvis. Many, many of these are previously unpublished! It is quite likely this book contains more never-before-seen Elvis photos from 1957-'60 than any previous publication. In addition to the 400 black-and-white pages, we feature 104 full pages in gorgeous full color. And wait till you see the amazing shot that graces our back cover!
We can absolutely guarantee NO ONE can say they've seen all these photos before! It's a fascinating and accurate text and pictorial history, and the definitive chronicle of Elvis' army experience.
Our amazing research department has tracked down as many living members as possible from Fort Hood as well as Elvis' Scout Platoon, in Germany, and most of these men have shared stories and never-before-seen photos with us for use in "Elvis: Like Any Other Soldier." We have also worked closely with key individuals in Germany who were personally involved with Elvis when he was there.
Besides the truly amazing photos, we included 40 pages of text, transcripts, interviews, letters, telegrams, and other authentic pieces of correspondence from Elvis, between March 24, 1958 and April 1960 (excerpted from "Elvis: Word for Word" plus some newly-discovered items). To cap things off there is even an army-related music and memorabilia section.
"Elvis: Like Any Other Soldier" is a deluxe edition and is huge: 504 pages, all on beautiful glossy coated stock and with a gorgeous hard cover. Cover price is just $49 (plus $5.95 S/H in the U.S.) Mandatory insurance is included in that amount. Compare that to the many overpriced books with half the page count and $50-plus price tags. Order now and your book will be among those shipped on the first day after they arrive from the printer. Special bonus: Each book ordered from us will include a surprise that Presley fans will love — something no home should be without.
"Elvis: Like Any Other Soldier," an officially licensed E.P.E. product, is planned for release in July 2010.
