Essential Elvis? Here it is! - Elvis at 21: New York to Memphis
Elvis at 21: New York to Memphis is a book of exquisite Presley photos taken in 1956 by Alfred Wertheimer. These are remarkably intimate and revealing portraits, mostly shot 'fly-on-the-wall' fashion as Wertheimer followed Elvis in the recording studio, on a train ride and at home in Memphis, with his parents and friends. Through it all, Wertheimer was apparently so unobtrusive that Presley never seemed self-conscious. The photos, including ones of the actual TV show performance, are splendid.

Then when we called President Nixon back at the White House and I said, Elvis Presley is calling, they said, how do we really know it's really Elvis Presley?

It's a heavy one - a six-pound, hardbound, 11"x14", 250+-page package with many, many full-page photos and fold-outs.

In a previous article I dealt with the period from 1963 to 1968 when Elvis and his fans suffered from a poor selection of tracks which were chosen for release as singles.
