Offered is Elvis Presley''s Personal Copy of The CIA and The Cult of Intelligence Hardback Book. Elvis was a voracious reader and fascinated with the inner workings of law enforcement and the government. This 1974 First Edition printing is touted on the dust jacket as "The first book the U.S. Government ever went to court to censor before publication." The book was gifted to Elvis'' cousin Patsy Presley, to whom he gave a great many things during the many years she worked in the offices at Graceland. Patsy later sold the book to noted collector Tom Salva--his letter accompanies. The hardback book presents with its original dustjacket that has suffered minor water damage but is intact. Excellent condition overall.
