May 04 - Cover Through the Ages

Here is the cover-art for the upcoming book "Elvis Through the Ages: Images from the Hollywood Photo Archive” by Colin Slater which is due for release September 25, 2019 from Lyons Press. Unfortunately the designer added an impersonator ...

The Elvis Information Network (EIN) sent a message to the publishers at The Lyon Press, pointing out the 
rather massive error. Here is the reply from the publisher:
"Lyons Press Editorial staff are aware of your complain. 
While the photo in question was meant to be that of an impersonator, to alleviate any confusion the editors have elected to replace it. Please rest assured that when the book publishes this September, it will have a photo of the real Elvis on it. Once the new cover is completed, it will be uploaded to our database, from which it will feed out to all online retailers. Thank you again for your time." 

Synopsis:
From the beginning of his career to his death as the Hollywood icon Elvis Presley sang and enchanted thousands of people. Publicity photos and behind-the-scenes shots from the Hollywood Photo Archives include scores of long been forgotten or abandoned images in neglected studio archives. This book collects 100 of the rarest of the rare, seldom previously seen images of his career. For the Elvis fans who think that they have seen it all, this book will provide a new lens on a beloved American icon.
