"Maybe someday I will write a book..." – Elvis Presley

In his lifetime, Elvis never did get the chance to pen his story—but he told it through his hundreds of interviews and letters to friends, family, and fans. this book consists of the words Elvis himself spoke and wrote, from his early career through his rise to superstardom, accompanied by rare and previously unseen photographs.

About the Author, Jerry Osborne

In the summer of 1956, twelve-year-old Jerry Osborne brought home a 78-rpm cardboard record titled Elvis Presley -- The Truth About Me. For Osborne, this disc, with its two minutes of Elvis speaking to his fans, kicked off forty-four years of collecting records, tapes, and CDs of anything Elvis spoke into a microphone.

Elvis and Jerry eventually met and became friends in 1967, when both men were living in Memphis.

Jerry Osborne is the author of more than seventy books on recorded music and entertainment personalities. Among his best-selling titles are The Official Price Guide to Records and The Official Price Guide to Elvis Presley Records & Memorabilia.
