Agreed.
But they don't know what it is that they don't know.
They are ignorant about what it is they are ignorant about.

Ha! Sneaky!
All we know at this point is that the book cover has an impersonator photo on the cover. Which is an odd decision. What we don’t know for sure yet, is whether the book contains correct info on that photo or not, whether it explains why they chose to put that photo on the cover, etc. Oh well. Never mind. Shoot the d*** book.
Elvis Through the Ages" Publishers Apologise: Thankfully the publishers of the new book "Elvis Through the Ages: Images from the Hollywood Photo Archive" (by Colin Slater) have realised the error of their ways. The publicist from Lyons Press finally responded to EIN's letters noting that having an Impersonator on the cover of a book about ELVIS was a huge mistake.
He told EIN, "Lyons Press Editorial staff are aware of your complain. While the photo in question was meant to be that of an impersonator, to alleviate any confusion the editors have elected to replace it. Please rest assured that when the book publishes this September, it will have a photo of the real Elvis on it. Once the new cover is completed, it will be uploaded to our database, from which it will feed out to all online retailers. Thank you again for your time."
The Hollywood Photo Archive is not only a wonderful collection of cinematic history, it captures the collective memories of Hollywood. The gunmen, the gallants, the ghosts and the stars of the big screen are represented in an impressive archive of more than 180,000 pieces.
The book is hardcover and 144 pages and A4 size. Publisher Lyons Press - out September 25, 2019- Priced $24.95

See, we rushed to judgement, didn't we ?
They aren't so stupid after all !
They meant it to be an impersonator !
To avoid confusing all the dim-witted Elvis fans, who couldn't grasp that, they've 'elected to replace it' !
Their generosity is unbounded...
