Beforehand
� knowing our "love" for impersonators � this book didn�t
make our hearts beat faster. But as always, we give anything
a chance, we decided to do our work and review this comic
novel about an impersonator, written by Rich Koslowski (ISBN 1-891830-61-1).
Well, it was harder than we thought. In over one month one
of our reviewers � the one that hardly reads anything else
than comics � wasn�t able to beat more than 18 pages.

line CD-cases. The cover contains pictures of both Elvis and
the Beatles, but none of the famous meeting.

King and I - Bernard Lansky
'He
always called me Mister Lansky'. The unmistakable Southern
accent echoes through the clothing store in the lobby of the

him, 'Call me Bernard.' But Elvis always said, 'Thank you,

Elvis at
21: New York to Memphis
featuring Alfred Wertheimer's
seminal Elvis photos from 1956
will be released during October,
2006.
For a peek inside the book-
click here.In 1956, a
twenty-one-year-old Elvis
Presley was at the beginning of
his remarkable and unparalleled
career and photographer Alfred
Wertheimer was asked by
Presley�s new label, RCA Victor,
to photograph the rising star.
With unimpeded access to the
young performer, Wertheimer was
able to capture the unguarded
and everyday moments in Elvis'
life during that crucial year, a
year that took him from Tupelo,
Mississippi to the silver
screen, and to the verge of
international stardom and his
crowning as "The King of Rock
'n' Roll.� As Alfred Wertheimer
photographed Elvis during 1956,
and again in 1958, he created
classic images that are
spontaneous, unrehearsed and
completely without artifice.
