Publisher's Synopsis

This book follows the growth, changes and mutations of Elvis Presley's place in American and international culture since his death. To this end the author of this book has collected and rewritten some occasional pieces on Elvis, with new material and illustrations (art, collages, comic strips, advertisements) to bring together his own work and visual material. The book traces how "Presleyism" has been manifested.

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
