Anything which involves Esposito, howver tenuous his links, is bound to be crap.

Now let's see, hands up all discerning fans who approve of this.... errr that looks like 1, oh no Joe, put your hand down, you don't count. Looks like a big fat zero. You see, they can't say areas of his life that have never been explored or written about cos that would be a lie, so the marketing boys step in and say 'rarely' now...Well, sorry boys, this is a product I would rarely look at and buy.

Verified by Joe...(?) I prefer the new Sony Box with Elvis' 5 Gold Records discs in it ! A sure better buy !We don't need Esposito for this...he had his chance to make a buck but spoiled it...(by publishing a book that wasn't worth its cover)
missing all those unknown & hilarious anecdotes when with Elvis on the road and in Vegas. Hope Scheff's newest book is worthwhile reading/buying...after the Schilling mishap too.

I hate to speak ill of the dead, but this is the same Charlie Hodge that said for many years that Elvis had cancer and also denied that he had a drug problem. He was obviously in as much denial as Elvis himself.
