Jane Stern. Harper Perennial, $30 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-06-097290-5

According to PW , ``the husband-and-wife authors here enthusiastically examine the Presley phenomenon. This album, with more than 250 color and black-and-white pictures, presents the screaming teenage fans, the pink Cadillac, the fluff movies, song lyrics, the `audacious' Graceland, wife Priscilla beneath a towering hairdo and, of course, Presley in all his mutations.''
