In the current Elvis book market it's a bargain.
I've seen some of the documents used inside this book in person, in fact I helped enhance a couple of faded ones so they could be published!
I've yet to see a copy in person and it may be a while, but the book launch will be at Jon Daly's Elvis convention on EP Blvd for anyone who's in Memphis who's interested.
I love the airplane ticket for Elvis .... that's all I'll say as not to spoil the fun. ;-)

****JUST ANNOUNCED****

A brand NEW book from Dick Grob.

ELVIS: Safe, & Sound.

Go back in time with Dick as he shares his personal memories, & personal archives from his time working on the inside with Elvis as his chief of security in this nearly 300 page book!

Find out what it was like to put the tours together, & what it was like on the road. He talks about security at Graceland, & never before heard inside stories of the Memphis Mafia.

He shares loads of documents from his own personal archives, most of which have never been seen, or published.

*There are correspondences between himself, & local police forces around the country talking about providing security for Elvis, & their plans for future tours. It shows the behind the scenes work that was going on from city to city.

*Never before seen photos of the inside of the Lisa Marie airplane while Elvis was on tour, including the bedroom.

*See NEVER BEFORE SEEN photos of the demolition of the Meditation Garden prior to Graceland being opened to the public. For insurance purposes the red tiles were removed. See the invoices for work that was done, along with the photos of the demolition.

*Also included are the flight logs from June 7, 1976 when Elvis left Memphis, & flew to Palm Springs during the controversial body guard firings. Get the inside story on why it went down, & what it was like to be around the group at this very intense time.

*See color photos of the back yard at Elvis' cherished Chino Canyon home in Palm Springs. ALL photos are previously unpublished.

The list goes on, & on! Almost everything in this book is NEW. It's loaded with unpublished photos throughout. This book is a limited run print. It WILL sell out, and be hard to get once its gone. Get your copy NOW!

Jon Daly, owner of the Elvis Presley Pawn Shop, is the EXCLUSIVE dealer. You can ONLY purchase them from Jon. Check his page to see where you can get the book.

Online orders, & shipments will start following Elvis Week.

Dick will be in Memphis for Elvis Week, & if you have the book, & see him, he will gladly sign it for you. He has a prior contractual commitment with EPE while in Memphis, & will NOT be holding any book signings during Elvis Week. He WILL sign for you if you see him out, & about. He will be in Memphis from the 10th-14th.

Here's an interesting one.
The red tiles at the Meditation Garden being removed to make a safer flooring for visitors when Elvis and his mother are brought back to Graceland.
That's right, the concrete floor in the garden was never set foot on by Elvis, it came after him.

And yes, that's Al Strada sat at left... ever wonder what he looks like today?

Just finished reading ELVIS, Safe and Sound by Dick Grob and here are my random thoughts.

Love the cover and the paper quality ( I like good paper quality, what can I say) for those of us who like visual documentation and not just words, this book fits the bill.

Also for all you curious fans, there's a look into the behind the scenes think tank that went on daily and you will appreciate all that went into having a smooth operation when it came to tours, Vegas etc. (and frankly even just day to day events) also some never published photos which is ALWAYS a treat! I could never keep the tours straight so it's nice to have accounting of those also. That's my two cents - I'm not good at writing reviews but I think this book will be well received because it's unique in what it offers; i.e. Documentation
