Dial El - I Love You. Scarce, original 16-page booklet dedicated to Elvis Presley and his mother. Copyright 1962 by Chaw Mank.
Pink/silver cover booklet measures 3 3/4 x 6 1/2 inches and numbers 16 pages.
Another great item from the estate of songwriter and author Charles "Chaw" Mank Jr. Mr. Mank was president of the Elvis Presley Book Club and is credited with having started one of Elvis's first fan clubs in the early 1950s. Elvis and the Colonel sure liked Chaw, as they sent him Christmas cards and other goodies every year.
Condition is near mint/mint. Not too many of these left, Elvis fans.
Note:
This booklet inhabits a rather odd place in Elvis Presley lore as Mr. Mank (who definitely knew better) continually refers to the King's mother as "Grace." Her correct name, of course, is Gladys!
This item comes directly from the estate of Charles "Chaw" Mank Jr. (1902-1985), noted songwriter, author, bandleader, record producer, sheet music publisher, psychic, radio personality, silent movie theater organist, world champion pen pal, inveterate collector and Hollywood/music fan club pioneer.
