Compiled by author and book editor Mike Evans (The Art of the Beatles), the volume shows Elvis as a seventh-grader in Tupelo, Miss.; being inducted into the army; crying with his father over the death of his mother; signing autographs on the Paramount Studio lot; performing in his white fringed jumpsuits and romping with Priscilla and Lisa Marie.
