An all-access pass to the private world of Elvis Presley, as photographed by Thom Gilbert, who went behind the scenes to capture these stunning photographs of Elvis artefacts. An intimate look at "The King" through an examination of the items with which he chose to surround himself, this collection presents portraits, personal memorabilia, jewellery, fashion and knickknacks, and interior images from his homes and birthplace. Adding to this unique portrait of Elvis are inspirational stories from the musicians, intimates, relatives, producers, songwriters, costars, and friends who knew him. Gilbert has created an historic collection that encompasses an in-depth cross-section of the people who crossed paths with one of America's most beloved performers and the possessions and treasures that were meaningful to the man who was the most celebrated pop culture icon of the 20th century.
