November 19 - Blog Blurb

Thomas Melin, webmaster and blogger on the "Elvis Today Blog" announced the release of volume 2 of his Elvis Today Blog book through Blurb. On his blog he shares his personal perspective on Elvis throughout the eyes of a fan.

From the press-release:
This book, the second volume of The Elvis Today Blog, collects 230 posts from January 8, 2010 to August 16, 2012. A bonus post features a previously unreleased interview with Elvis’ first drummer D.J. Fontana. “I've been an Elvis fan for more than 30 years. I guess not a day goes by without him taking part in my life in some way or the other. That's what this blog is all about.”

Praise for the first volume of The Elvis Today Blog:
“Thomas Melin crafts a unique volume that follows the triumphs and trials of being an Elvis fan in the post-1977 era.” (Troy Y., The Mystery Train Blog)
“Melin ponders issues as diverse as Elvis in the shop window and archival media reports to new bootleg releases, the need for an FTD (Follow That Dream) website and the album that never was. All in all it makes for interesting reading.” (Nigel Patterson, Elvis In Print: The Definite Reference And Price Guide).

You can buy the book at Blurb.
