En España, Una Mirada Crítica

El Toro books published the second edition of Rubén Olivares Rosell's 434-page book 'Elvis Presley - En España, Una Mirada Crítica, Vol. 1, 1956 - 1959' ('Elvis Presley - In Spain, A Critical Look, Vol. 1, 1956 - 1959'). 

In the book, Rosell refutes the preconceived ideas of Elvis Presley in Spain, based on what the Spanish press wrote about Elvis Presley from 1960 to 1963 - when he became popular) - ignoring his first and revolutionary records and performances, which only appeared fragmented - or were simply ignored by -the press.
