The cover is more innovative than J. Schillings wertheimer copy. And if I had to choose one, I think I´d pick Joe´s. I believe Jerry (allthough a good guy) leans a bit too much towards what is politically right and acceptable against EPE and "Cilla". -But maybe I´ll read both :)

All in all, Joe is a decent guy and probably the one with the most brains in the whole lot of them. After all he was Elvis' main man for many years. Also, the colonel must have felt the same as he was the only mafia member he truly relied on. Probably why Joe doesnt feel any ill will toward him. Joe didnt have it easy trying to please both!

Listening to Elvis radio a lot, my next Memphis Mafia book is going to be by George Klein. This guy was with him from 1948 right to the end. His stories on Friday afternoons are compulsive listening and never has to my knowledge been a hypocrite. I think the book is pencilled in for next year but it would be nice to read a book without the sensationalism I have read from other so called friends and family.

Got this book yesterday. It's a hardcover containing over 450 pages. It seemes it's mainly transcriptions from Joe Espositos eight volum DVD collection The Definitive Elvis, which was banned by EPE a couple years ago.
