A Wonderful Addition to Any Book Collection!By Krista JoyI would not call myself and avid reader - but Elvis Style is a wonderful - even to me!! The photos are gorgeous and the verbiage flows beautifully and is easy to understand. It was a perfect size for my flight from Florida to California. I love it because there are so many books about Elvis - but this is the first one I have ever seen that exclusively covers his style. There is even insight into why he liked certain things that he wore. It is an incredible look at Elvis from a different take that I know I will enjoy over and over. I tell all my friends about this book.
