Elvis Decoded: A Fan's Guide to Deciphering the Myths and Misinformation

by Patrick Lacy

Elvis Decoded... 2006: Author Patrick Lacy has written a book that is long a detailed, in-depth examination of the facts and figures that permeate the written Elvis history (books, articles, commentary). He sorts through all the information and puts things in proper perspective. Elvis Decoded also covers scores of other questions and topics that have been largely ignored or mishandled over the past 43 years. The author offers a unique perspective on the toughest questions and the most complicated issues in the Elvis Universe, and explains how things got so confusing. Elvis Decoded - A Fan's Guide to Deciphering the Myths and Misinformation is presented in a Q&A format, and offers an examination and comparison of the numerous Elvis source materials. Also included in the book is the author's own research into other topics that have remained largely unaddressed since Elvis's death in 1977. Rave reviews for Elvis A Fan's Guide... “...Lacy has an uncanny ability to take these different versions of the same event and, without any sleight of hand, make the real truth appear, as if by magic, using the simple power of reasoning and elimination... The author's sincere search for the truth and his years of unbiased Elvis research shine through...I highly recommend this book to any Elvis fan.” ---Jim Cox, co-author, with Nancy Rooks (Elvis's maid), of “ ” “Finally – a book on Elvis Presley that is not only warranted but sorely needed. Author Patrick Lacy sifts through a mountain of information and dissects the singer's life and death with the precision of a surgeon and the analytical mind of a forensic scientist..." ---Marshall Terrill, author of "Elvis - Still Taking Care of Business"

The subtitle tells it all. It's an interesting read when there's nothing else nearby worth reading.
