Great pics and some interesting facts (though I'm sure a more die-hard fan would already know most of them).

This paints a largely flattering portrait and reads as if written by a big Elvis fan as opposed to an impartial biographer. I would have liked to go a bit deeper, but there are lots of longer biographies and accounts out there so maybe I'll tackle one of those in future. Sadly there were a few typos which, when there was so little text, ready stood out, but nevertheless a good introduction that killed a few hours over Christmas.

Une biographie en photo accompagnée de légendes relatant la vie d’Elvis. Très intéressant de voir l’évolution du King au court des photos.
