Good luck with your publishing, I already have placed an order, will get it on Thursday! 8-).


Thanks for your good wishes and the order.

I'm currently re-considering the idea of a digital version and will investigate further over Christmas.

The hardback option is fascinating but there isn't a financially viable option for this type of deluxe product as far as I know, certainly not one that runs to 700 pages. Print runs for most Elvis books are notoriously small and unless this volume takes off in an unprecedented fashion I don't think it's going to happen, I'm afraid.

A 700 page hardback book is going to be pretty hard to handle.
