Movie Icons by Taschen: Elvis Presley: Tender Heart - Soft Cover Book 2008

Written by F.X. Feeney, edited by Paul Duncan, and featuring photos by The Kobel Collection, this is a souvenir/keepsake book about Elvis Presley, the Movie Icon. It was published in 2008 by Taschen, a luxury book publisher in Cologne, Germany. It is in wonderful, barely used condition, measuring 7.7 x 5.5 x .5 inches, 192 pages, with a flexi-cover. The photos of The King from his many movies are wonderful! Goodreads Say This: Elvis Presley would have been the first to laugh at the mad, godlike status he attained after death, but he would have surely identified with the human, gospel-haunted need such adoration rises out of. He shared that need, and courted it. He could sing and move with a spellbinding violence and grace. Yet his nature was also marked by a startling passivity - an eerily contented lack of ambition at his essence that kept him from growing after his first fiery years of success. That early fire still burns, nevertheless, and his mythical figure remains an omnipresent fixture today. This would be a wonderful gift or collectible for the fan of Elvis' movies.
