Steve Binder did a brilliant job on Elvis’s comeback special and this book documents that time in 1968 very well。 Any Elvis fan will love this book。 （If you haven’t seen the Baz Luhrmann film “Elvis” what are you waiting for？ It shows the ‘68 comeback in a slick way that captures the spirit of the show perfectly。）

Fascinating behind the scenes story。 Loved the "always make two costumes" incident。 I'm going to have to re-watch the special and see if I can spot the moment of Elvis's delight！ Interesting that Baz Luhrman wrote the intro - bet the new Elvis movie was already in the works when he took on the task。I read it after seeing the new movie and it cleared up a lot of the theatrical excesses in the movie。 Great read。 Fascinating behind the scenes story。 Loved the "always make two costumes" incident。 I'm going to have to re-watch the special and see if I can spot the moment of Elvis's delight！ Interesting that Baz Luhrman wrote the intro - bet the new Elvis movie was already in the works when he took on the task。I read it after seeing the new movie and it cleared up a lot of the theatrical excesses in the movie。 Great read。 。。。more
