Or should I say it has a touch of silver instead of gold? Even the images I know exist in color are printed black and white. The collection is complete, even images of Elvis only wearing the shoes that belong to the suit are included, but because the images are black and white only the book is kind-of grey. Mike Eder – who provided the text for more Tunzi releases - has a nice style and sums up the history and background information on the suit and use in several tours pretty well.īut besides the text the images should carry the book, and unfortunately they don’t. The book is mainly a picture book with pretty much all images of Elvis wearing the complete or parts of his iconic 1957 Gold Lame suit. You can clearly see the eye-shade Elvis is wearing during his Los Angeles performance on October 28, 1957. That said the quality of the images is good. Even the trailer for the book on YouTube contained color images. Personally I think a touch of gold in the design and the use of color images would have added a lot to the book. But besides the image on the front and back cover there are only three colors to be found inside the book black, white and a mixture of both. When you use a color in the title of your book it is nice to use that in the design too. That gives the the book an instant “deluxe” appeal.
