   Elvis Day By Day: The Definitive Record of His Life and Music by Peter Guralnick and Ernst Jorgensen (Ballantine Books 1999) (780.92) (3416). Author Peter Guralnick has compiled a chronology of Elvis' life from his birth in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935 through his death in Memphis, Tennessee on August 16, 1977 at the age of 42. This book serves up “Elvis lite,” but it is full of good pictures. My rating: 7/10, finished 1/27/20 (3416).

   There are lots and lots of books about Elvis Presley, most of them probably of no interest to anyone but the hardest of hardcore fans. But there are a few that should be of interest to researchers and historians of both Presley and rock & roll in general. Among these, ELVIS DAY BY DAY ranks among the most essential if only for the chunks of record facts and sales figures provided by Jorgensen throughout the book. As another reviewer here at Goodreads noted, it's a pretty dry read if you're lookin There are lots and lots of books about Elvis Presley, most of them probably of no interest to anyone but the hardest of hardcore fans.
