Also out - but nowhere to be found on-line is volume 13 in the "Elvis: The Official Collector's Edition".

Description:

The Official Elvis Collector's Edition is proud to present Elvis Presley: His Life in Photos, a one-of-a-kind issue showcasing the best and most iconic views of the star, from the early days of rock & roll to the marquees of Las Vegas blazing his name. Featuring an intro by Priscilla Presley, exclusive images, performance stills, family photos and stories from those who knew him best, it's a fitting tribute to the man who revolutionized entertainment as we know it today: the one, the only, Elvis Presley.

Vintage Rock Magazine

Issue 34 of Vintage Rock is on sale now. This issue of Vintage Rock takes an in-depth look at one of the all-time legends of rock’n’roll, Buddy Holly but also features and articles on Elvis Presley. 

Description:
Plus, as rock’n’roll is truly as much about about the characters as it is the music, we hear exclusive insider tales of the Elvis Empire from Col Tom Parker and Elvis assistants Greg McDonald and Charles Stone – from selling ‘I Hate Elvis’ badges to The King’s shopping trip for 12 TVs, it is an enchanting exposé on both Elvis himself and “the devil” who managed him, Colonel Tom Parker. Has Parker actually been misunderstood all these years?
