Due for release early March 2007 is Jerry Hopkin's latest book "Aloha Elvis".
Synopsis:
On Elvis' first visit to Hawaii in 1957, fans filled Honolulu Stadium for not one, but two concert performances. That was the beginning of Elvis' enduring relationship with the islands, which included two additional benefit concerts, three films, and several vacation stays. For Elvis fans and those interested in Hawaii's music history, Aloha Elvis describes Elvis' love affair with the islands and includes over 100 photographs, some never before published, of Elvis and the people and places he encountered in Hawaii.

Isn't this just a straight re-issue of his previous book, also with the theme of Hawaii??!! I wish they wouldn't try to fool us like this. There are HUNDREDS of books on Elvis that I have collected and will keep on collecting, and I don't want the same book twice!
