Guralnick Peter
Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley
Boston: Little Brown 1994. Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7� - 9�" tall. As new gray and black cloth and paper over boards hardcover w gilt font on spine. Stated first edtn/printing. No markings except remainder line on bottom page edge. Dust jacket unclipped tiny repaired tear on top spine back and bottom flap now under protective mylar."Guralnick author of first-rate collections of musician profiles such as Lost Highway and Feel Like Going Home notes that what he wanted to do in Last Train to Memphis was to ''rescue Elvis Presley from the dreary bondage of myth from the oppressive aftershock of cultural significance.'' To accomplish this he interviewed scores of people plowed through the mini-industry of Presley publishing and then wiped the slate clean: Guralnick gives us a life of Elvis as if it had never been told before and in a sense it hasn't not this way.Last Train is filled with great stories both large and small. These range from meticulous re-creations of Elvis' early recording sessions-scenes illustrating that Presley possessed of an enormous natural talent was also a self-conscious artist well aware that he was creating revolutionary popular music-to the singer's succinct endorsement of Adlai Stevenson for President in 1956: ''I don't dig the intellectual bit but I'm telling you man he knows the most.''. Little Brown Hardcover

Dorik Edward and D. H. Lawrence
Lady Chatterley's Lover an adaptation A Play in Two Acts
Chicago: Edward Dorik 1965. Book. Good. Soft cover. 1st Edition. According to Wiki-Pedia: Lawrence's novel was successfully dramatised for the stage in a three-act play by a young British playwright named John Harte. Although produced at The Arts Theatre in London in 1961 and elsewhere later on his play was written in 1953. It was the only D. H. Lawrence novel ever to be staged and his dramatisation was the only one to be read and approved by Lawrence's widow Frieda. I find no other presentations until now. Earlier in 1931 Samuel Roth had done a similar adaptation. Here we have a previously-unknown third Dorik's version with his two-page comments that by1965 his version had been performed in more than two dozen stock theatres across the country with some success. His comments and the play as a working script with seven characters the1981 film had fifteen major parts are all mimeographed with a few of pages slightly loose from their bracket. I can find no mention of Dorik anywhere nor does he seem to have published anything beyond this work which is in rough mimeograph format. Blue paper folder no title label. His comments sheets offer a glimpse into his efforts to bring this play alive with both the original themes and sexuality intact but with added comedy and energy. How one version progressed is also discussed. Good. Edward Dorik Paperback
