For the Love of Elvis
The book "For The Love Of Elvis" by Marla J. Selvidge was released as a paperback. In the words of the author: I have just finished a new book on Elvis, For the Love of Elvis." I spent three years researching Elvis as I developed a class for the University of Central Missouri, "Elvis. Memphis Messiah." When I had finished reading hundreds of articles and books and watching scores of videos, I was compelled to write a positive book about Elvis. It is a tribute to his genius. I term my work, "Elvisology."
Synopsis:
Selvidge explores the human side of Elvis. His life has become a beacon for people who are from the "other" America. By living the American Dream, Elvis became a model of hope to people. The title of the book captures the love that Elvis felt from his fans, but is also captures the love that Elvis gave and felt for his fans.
