August 01 - The Bicentennial Bootlegbook

The book 'Elvis - Live At The International', containing the full story of Elvis' time at the International Hotel from August 1969 to September 1971, was released.


Synopsis

This book contains 170 pages describing in meticulous detail exactly what it was like to see Elvis at the International. Taken from the diaries of super fan Peggy Elzea, the chapters describe meeting Elvis backstage, the shows, the hotel , the staff, the food, even the call girls. There are sections of tape transcripts, jumpsuit descriptions, photographs of memorabilia, the hotel's advertising campaign, the list goes on. If you ever wanted to know how Elvis chipped his tooth on stage in 1971 even that is in here. With approximately 100,000 words, there will never be a better chance to read about Elvis' first engagements in Vegas as seen through the eyes of a fan who was there. Peggy wrote down her memories forty years ago but they are as honest and fresh as if it all just happened yesterday.

We are very pleased to announce that we are on the final stretch, adding last minute information, doing corrections and a final proof reading that will lead us into graphical designing by September."
