The new book should be completely styled and not be like books usually are done with pictures stringed together, being printed on a whole page.

If possible exact data to the places should be given and the date the picture was taken, as well as authentic stories from the people who had been there during the events. Equally important to the producers is the background information in various shapes, you can find in newspaper articles or show reviews for example.

Photos which have lost colour intensity because of their age, should be reworked. We wanted to use every possible technical help to remove kinks, cracks or stains from the shots to give consideration to the historic shots.

Photos which have lost colour intensity because of their age, should be reworked. We wanted to use every possible technical help to remove kinks, cracks or stains from the shots to give consideration to the historic shots. Like on the DVDs, a new standard should be set. Great demands on paper and print quality should guarantee the fan not having a collection of lose pages in his hands when he wants to use this book as a reference book or if he just likes to look into it from time to time. And besides the information, which finally distinguishes a book, the fan should get an according equivalent value for his money.

After the first DVD the fans surely expected, from the book with the same title, a live book with shots from the "Fringe-Suit" show. Due to the producers having contact to the famous photo collector Russ Howe, whom they had called into the team since the DVD production, they also could fall back on a friend of many years of Elvis, Sandi Miller. So what was more standing to reason than to use their great candid pictures of their collections and personal memories for the book, by what the overall style of the book was constituted later on...

Some few of these photos were already released several years ago in illustrated books of the famous photographer Sean Shaver. A lot of fans supposed that it would also be about photos from his archive here. But Shaver never met or photographed Elvis in the 60s personally, not until the later tours of Elvis did Shaver see Elvis and take plenty of live photos.

Everybody knows the phenomenon; my favorite song, my favurite movie, my favorite photo. And that's exactly where Shaver applied in his illustrated books and chose his favorite image. But the fans on location at that time took of course more than only one photo, because how often did we experience that shots were shaken or you just pressed the actuator a second time just for safety reasons.

One of the fans, who have taken photos of Elvis repeatedly is Sandi Miller. Today she is able to tell stories just because of her photos, because - attached in a row -they are form a kind of short movie. So the producers are able to present the fans the complete sets. And while we found fictional stories to the pictures from Sean Shaver, you read here for the first time the real stories, how they took place in the moment the photo was taken. Especially Sandi Miller's diaries in connection with these photos make this book so intriguing.

The author Bud Glass managed outstandingly to put Sandi Miller's diaries sensitively together with these photos and shortly after the release the book had been given a new name : King of the candid books.

So Bud Glass had created with his first book a masterpiece, which is since its release very popular with the fans. You can read that on this website. Therefore please go left to the menu and click at the point "In the Press".

The producers are not only happy about the numerous "Thank you"- Emails but they are especially proud of having reached some changes on the Elvis-book market. Besides the fact of having created a product, which - after the DVD - the fans also like very much, they also achieved that the criticized development of the price/performance ratio has become better. So the American author being criticized in the beginning of this page, didn't only offer the fans a book with artwork and restored pictures, but he also sells it to now with an adequate price of $ 39,00.

The book corresponds the title of the homonymous DVD - but that's the only commonality you can find here. The producers choose the same title because the book follows the same aim as the DVD:

"Elvis - Behind The Image" - The aim is to show a side of Elvis that fans have never seen before.

The life of the artist who can show himself in private moments without being surrounded by press photographers. Time and place are not prescribed here: At home in Graceland, in his California houses, in the car or in the cinema.

Elvis - 100% private

Photos taken from the book "Elvis: Behind The Image" - Volume 1

The book shows Elvis from 1966 and ends 1975, but focuses the end of the 60's. Elvis is shown at the several movie shootings, Clambake, Stay Away Joe, Live A Little Love A Little, Charro, The Trouble With Girls and Change Of Habit and by the candids you can have a look behind the scenes. You see Elvis in extravagant private clothes visiting shows, meeting fans and especially his Hollywood years are dealt with dramatically.

The California-Homes: Perugia Way, Hillcrest, Monovale, Ladera Circle

"Graceland" and "Las Vegas" are recurrent words you bring in connection with Elvis directly but actually the star spend many years in the houses in Beverly Hills or Palm Springs. Ultimately this part of Elvis's life is dealt with detailed and a long existing black hole is erased. Although the main focus of the book is on Elvis, there are unique candids and moments showing Priscilla or both together.
