From the moment that he first shook up the world in the mid 1950s, Elvis Presley has been one of the most vivid and enduring myths of American culture. Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley is the first biography to go past that myth and present an Elvis beyond the legend. Based on hundreds of interviews and nearly a decade of research, it traces the evolution not just of the man but of the music and of the culture he left utterly transformed, creating a completely fresh portrait of Elvis and his world. This volume tracks the first twenty-four years of Elvis' life, covering his childhood, the stunning first recordings at Sun Records ("That's All Right," "Mystery Train"), and the early RCA hits ("Heartbreak Hotel," "Hound Dog," "Don't Be Cruel"). These were the years of his improbable self-invention and unprecedented triumphs, when it seemed that everything that Elvis tried succeeded wildly. There was scarcely a cloud in sight through this period until, in 1958, he was drafted into the army and his mother died shortly thereafter. The book closes on that somber and poignant note. Last Train to Memphis takes us deep inside Elvis' life, exploring his lifelong passion for music of every sort (from blues and gospel to Bing Crosby and Mario Lanza), his compelling affection for his family, and his intimate relationships with girlfriends, mentors, band members, professional associates, and friends. It shows us the loneliness, the trustfulness, the voracious appetite for experience, and above all the unshakable, almost mystical faith that Elvis had in himself and his music. Drawing frequently on Elvis' own words and on the recollections of those closest to him, the book offers an emotional, complex portrait of young Elvis Presley with a depth and dimension that for the first time allow his extraordinary accomplishments to ring true. Peter Guralnick has given us a previously unseen world, a rich panoply of people and events that illuminate an achievement, a place, and a time as never revealed before. Written with grace, humor, and affection, Last Train to Memphis has been hailed as the definitive biography of Elvis Presley. It is the first to set aside the myths and focus on Elvis' humanity in a way that has yet to be duplicated.Binding Type: Paperback

Unfortunately I can’t recommend it.
Color: Ivory White, Size: Round 48''
I got my carpet time ago but I opened the package just 3 days ago. Unfortunately I can’t take it back anymore. I opened the bag after I had done my daughter’s bedroom with flooring and walls painted. Sadly when I opened this bag the smell was sooooo bad. The material was not soft and the color was more yellow than ivory. The quality is not good. It is thick and the value of the money was extremely expensive which makes more disappointing that I can’t take it back. Not easy to clean and the size was ok. But I can’t recommend it.

Exactly as pictured and described
Color: Taro Purple, Size: Round 48'', Color: Taro Purple, Size: Round 48''
I absolutely love this. I have it under my office chair in my home office and it is so luxurious to feel this under my feet while I'm working. It came shrinkwrapped and took a day or two to fluff back out and lose the creases. It looks great now. I didn't notice any odor when I opened it. Shipping was fast and it was very well packaged. I was very pleased with it. I would definitely buy again.
