Makes me think of home.

- Memphis Elvis Style
Cindy Hazen and Mike Freeman
A phenomenal number of books have been written about Elvis. Recently it would seem that ever more such books are being published. Some are just rehashes of the same old story; others are the recollections of a five-minute fling, being as much a flight of phantasy as a worthwhile document; a few, a very few, are really worth buying and can be returned to again and again. "Memphis Elvis Style" by Memphis residents Cindy Hazen and Mike Freeman is most definitely one of the latter. It has not been launched under a blaze of publicity, but it is nevertheless an almost indispensable addition to the Elvis library.
"Memphis Elvis Style" is, in fact, a guide book of Elvis related sites in and around Memphis. The no less than 129 sites have been cleverly organised firstly by their chronological relationship with Elvis and then further grouped by type. In addition, maps and an index help searching both in the book and in Memphis itself as simple as possible. And if this wasn't already enough, each entry contains detailed instructions on how to find its site and exactly what to expect, many buildings having been flattened or modified in the course of the years.
But the book is also for those who have never been or never will go to Memphis. Cindy and Mike have achieved this by expanding each entry with some background information and an anecdote directly relating it to Elvis. This additional information provides some excellent reading and is sometimes quite amusing - I particularly liked the story of Elvis's visit to his local McDonald's with girlfriend Linda Thompson., but there are lots more stories and Elvis lore to satisfy all readers, even those looking for information about Hi Records, car dealerships, and just about everything else associated with Elvis in Memphis.
Definitely a book to get!

- This is the ultimate read for any Elvis fan. Especially if they are going to spend any time in Memphis. It's eerie, even chilling, to walk the grounds where Elvis walked as a teenager, and even during stardom. This is a step-by-step narrative of how to find nearly every address related to Elvis in Memphis, and every one of them with a used-to-be secret. It's really cool!
I had this book on my bedstand for months as a gift from my wife. Once I picked it up and read the first page, I couldn't put it down. Every page is loaded with "Man, If I would've only known." But you better hurry! These sites are rapidly falling by the wayside. As we saw in a store window in Memphis, you can contact the authors for a personalized tour. Although we haven't taken it, this would be a way-cool afternoon. Thank you Cindy Hazen and Mike Freeman, Dave-n-Tina Campbell Mt. Vernon, Texas
- When I started reading books about Elvis, I began to take notes on where he'd lived, played, recorded, etc., knowing one day I'd travel there. Then I discovered this book! Mike and Cindy had done the work for me. The book is not only well written, but there are informative stories AND they tell you if a place has been demolished, or moved -- information that saved me a lot of time. After reading the book I decided that I HAD to take Mike's tour of Memphis -- it was well worth it. I had a glorious time -- Mike is a walking Elvis-encyclopedia (and fun too!). After the tour, my niece, who was traveling with me said, "well, I think we've done it all and seen it all"! And yes, thanks to Mike and Cindy, we had.

1 comments about Camping Tennessee (Regional Camping Series).
- This book is helpful for us because we prefer public campgrounds, but if you're looking for a comprehensive campground book in Tennessee, this isn't it. With our preferences and the way the book is organized, it is easy for us to find a good campground. I do wish that season information were included.

2 comments about Streetwise Nashville Map - Laminated Center City Street Map of Nashville, Tennessee - Folding pocket size travel map.
- the information was good but the map is a bit confusing since you have to flip it over for the other half of the map. Would not purchase another map like this.
- This map is very disappointing. I never use it because it doesn't have detailed areas of Brentwood, Cool Springs, etc. The only thing I look at is for is the close-up of downtown. The best quickie-type map I've found is the one handed out by rental car companies at the airport for Nashville.

1 comments about Hiking the Benton Mackaye Trail: A Guide to the Benton MacKaye Trail from Georgia's Springer Mountain to Tennessee's Ocoee River.
- His most "frightening moment" on the trail is a great read and had me laughing out loud. All of his guidebooks are excellent, but I believe this is the best. It contains a nice history of the trail, a good biography of MacKaye, and excellent topographic maps.

1 comments about Traveling the Trace: A Complete Tour Guide to the Historic Natchez Trace from Nashville to Natchez (Travel).
- This is a "must" companion piece for anyone who drives the Natchez Trace, whether for 4 miles or 400. Without the book's detailed information about the Trace's history, the towns it runs through, and the many recreational opportunities along the way, the Trace would be just another road. The Summerlin's book and their subject remind us that life is indeed a journey, not a destination
