Wow - this looks fab ! I'm getting a bit bored with the live Vegas CD's I just can't take another version of Polk - I said Polk Salad Annie !

Would love to just have the book. I attended the Elvis convention in New York in 1978 and Alfred actaully had a table set up where he was selling many of his photos (right from the negative!). How times have changed. Well, I bought a few. The studio shots were awesome. I have about 6 of them. Would love to get this book to see all of them.

This can hardly be the definitive Alfred Wertheimer Elvis photo collection and I don't think it's intended to be that either. I think "ELVIS AT 21" was the latest deluxe photo book to collect these great pictures, which came out in the last year or so. That's on my wish-list. As for this set, I pretty-well satiated by FTD's excellent "ELVIS PRESLEY" classic album set on two discs, as remastered so well by Kevan Budd. I can't imagine this being superior for all the reasons others have cited, but I'll keep an open mind and wait for more reviews, as MRS has been behind some nifty releases...

Yes Elvis At 21 is the definitive book for Alfred's photos. Ive sold all the other books as this one makes the others seem non-essential. Get it if you can.
