Product Description:
If you wanted a picture of the life of Elvis Presley, who better to paint it for you than someone who worked as his trusted cook and maid at Graceland? Someone whose daily tasks centered around keeping the 'King of Rock & Roll' happy, whose every move was designed to please the greatest music legend the entertainment world has ever known. Here is that picture, as painted by Nancy Rooks. Nancy worked for Elvis from 1967 until his untimely death in 1977. Read her stories of what those years were like, of what the routines were at Graceland, and what it meant to be close to Elvis and his family on a daily basis. Read the sad account of her rushing upstairs, after a frantic call from Ginger Alden, and finding him on the bathroom floor. This book presents that picture, one that every Elvis fan will want to see.

Inside Graceland is another really nice Elvis Book for any collectors. The more Elvis Books like this that you or I own, get to know that much more about the Great Elvis Presley and the History of the Presley Family.

This is an excellent book focusing upon life inside Graceland from the perspective of one of Elvis' maids. The book focuses upon the final months of Elvis' life; and, in particular, events occuring immediately after his death. Nancy Rooks is very honest and insightful. My only wish is that she would've written about more of her experiences during her tenure in Graceland. One can only suspect that there's a huge volume of information that she could share with the world. She is very respectful ... Read More

Finally, an elvis book that told it as it was. I also recommend the book "Elvis,Linda and Me" by Jeanne LeMay Dumas

It had a few tidbits that were interesting. I would have like to have had more about Elvis and what he did and less about his grandmother and
aunt. We know this author must have seen and heard a lot while she was at work in his home - but on the other hand - maybe it is good she did not feel the need to really exploit her relationship with him as his
employee and maintain her loyalty. However, I felt it did drag at times and I read way too much about Dodger!
