The Memphis Commercial Appeal

-- Gear up for Elvis week with Elvis & You: Your Guide to the Pleasures of Being an Elvis Fan , yet another addition to the copious, printed-word catalog on the King, this time by Big Apple authors Laura Victoria Levin and John O'Hara, who have penned a mammoth guide to "Elvisizing your life." This one's sincere and goofy enough that it will appeal to fans of every persuasion, from the z ealot to the kitsch-hound. Need tips on creating your own Elvis shrine? An entire chapter helps out. How about the run-down on Elvis honeymoon spots? The books lists them all, from the Bahamas to a trailer in Walls, Miss. (it also suggests the Bluff City: "For Elvis fans in love, Memphis can be a very romantic place"). OK, so Peter Guralnick this ain't. But for reading material on the King's throne, Elvis & You fits the bill.
