Synopsis
The only definitive, one-stop resource that separates the man from the myth―an essential and gorgeous coffee table book for every true Elvis fan and scholar.
Decades after his passing, Elvis Presley remains an unparalleled cultural icon, yet the lines between the man, the music, and the legend have blurred beyond measure. The Elvis Encyclopedia is the product of obsessive research, created not just as a reference guide, but as the ultimate authority that brings order to the massive, often conflicting material written about the King of Rock and Roll.
This gorgeous, photo-packed compendium is the indispensable book for every fan because it provides unparalleled access and clarity on every facet of his world.
It is the single book that answers every question: Entries cover every single song, album, and film released, charting his unstoppable rise from a childhood mired in poverty to becoming the artist with over 150 gold, platinum, or multi-platinum records. Beyond the statistics, you'll find deeply researched facts on every significant figure in his orbit―from Colonel Tom Parker to family members, costars, girlfriends, session musicians, and the Memphis Mafia.
Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of rare and iconic photographs, movie stills, posters, and candid moments―many published for the first time―this book is also a spectacular visual testament to his life. By combining absorbing writing with meticulous cross-referencing and a comprehensive bibliography, The Elvis Encyclopedia allows you to test what is real against the legend, offering a lifetime of information in one monumental volume.
Adam Victor’s The Elvis Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive book about his extraordinary life and legacy ever published, as well as a visual compendium of Elvis’s life, offering hundreds of photographs, ranging from never-before-seen unposed moments to the extraordinary iconic images the world has come to love. This isn't just a book about Elvis; it is the definitive map of his universe.
“Lavishly and lovingly illustrated with candid photos, movie stills, posters, and assorted oddities..” ―New York Times Book Review

Reviews
Starred Review. This obsessively detailed and completely entertaining chronicle by Victor (The Marilyn Encyclopedia) of every possible aspect of Elvis Presley's life is mesmerizing and deserves a wide audience. Elvis fans will delight in the many famous and rare photos illustrating entries on the King's every song, album and movie as well as his complete last will and testament. But nonfans will marvel at such meticulously researched entries as Religion (a vision of Stalin and Jesus in a high bank of cloud made Elvis consider joining a monastery), as well as a comprehensive state-by-state list of Hotels Where Elvis Stayed. (Oct.)
