Collector Book Updates

Co-producers and authors Stephen M. Shutts and Lyndell Morris announced that the upcoming book 'Elvis Presley Memorabilia ... From Collections Around the World' goes to print June 15, 2026. The authors stated: "It has been a much longer process than expected, but thank you for being patient, while we create the best possible book, that will reset the bar for all Elvis Presley memorabilia books."

The book 'Love Ya Elvis Presley... The Definitive Guide to Elvis Presley Autographs Volume II' is on hold indefinitely due to production costs, the authors are looking for a publisher. 

The Comeback

Omnibus Press re-issued Simon Goddard's 2018 book 'The Comeback: Elvis and the Story of the 68 Special'. This Remastered edition includes a foreword from musician and journalist Bob Stanley.

Description for the 368-page book: It remains the greatest comeback in music history. The Lazarus-like saga of Elvis Presley’s fall and rise, from Army discharge through Sixties Hollywood hell to divine black-leather resurrection.

As 1968 dawns, the once ‘King’ of rock’n’roll faces cultural oblivion, a fading star lost in a 24/7 delirium of women, pills and holy mumbo-jumbo, isolated from an America unravelling in its own chaos of war, racism, riots and assassinations. Until, against all odds, his world and theirs collide in the performance of his life.

First published four years before Baz Luhrmann’s dramatisation of events in the Oscar-nominated 2022 biopic Elvis, Simon Goddard’s 'The Comeback' is no less a vividly cinematic, pelvic-thrusting blockbuster.
