Good find - book on Elvis Impersonators

http://www.elimpersonators.com/html/book.htm

If you haven't heard of this book it's well worth a look (by photographer Patty Carroll).

This book is an in-depth exploration of the worldwide phenomenon of Elvis impersonators. There are believed to be between 10,000 and 30,000 people who say they are Elvis peformers from among the over 10,000,000 fans in every city in America, and every country in the world. For more than ten years, Chicago based photographer Patty Carroll has traveled across the globe to photograph over 300 Tribute Artists. The fruit of the singular obsession of this self-described "normal person" is a fabulously funny, totally engrossing portrayal of a slice of life of consuming interest to millions of people throughout the world.
