Gates of Graceland - Unboxing Elvis' Books 

His book collection says so much about him, he was always searching for some kind of peace. So amazing!!

Angie has the best job!! To be able to go through all of Elvis's things! Imagine how well she knows him!

Its amazing that the things he used, written in, even shot is still around and in great condition and being so well taken care of.

He should be in the Guinness Book World Records , because I don't think I have ever seen anyone make it as big as Elvis . His music , movie's , concerts , and so many movies made about him . I can't think of anyone else that has went that far . And he still lives on through his fans. That is so awesome . Thanks for sharing this !!

I could watch this all day lol so interesting to see what Elvis was reading. I wish Elvis wrote a memoir when he was alive 😭

Just imagine if Elvis Presley had WiFi he would have been surfing the internet for spiritual guidance. Elvis is still the King 👑

I would be very interested in reading through some of the books that he read. Especially the ones in which Elvis heavily underlined passages & wrote in. Once again, I thank you for giving us another small glimpse into the life of Elvis Presley.

This Video Series is so up close and personal, most of us will never get to explore these personal Elvis items. Items that he actually used and valued. Well Done To Both Of You for including us in the magic.

I love this series and find Angie to be very knowledgeable and a person who.loves her kob!

I've heard Larry Geller talk about these boxes of books, several times. Elvis had many of them memorized and he took them everyplace.

I'm thinking how cool it is to be a fan and see something you sent to Elvis years ago, among all this stuff at Graceland.

The king of rock'n' roll was a mystic! Like many great musicians and singers...or artists. You need a soul to do great art!

This was priceless. Thank you 🙏🏻⚡️🥳

.Love this series of videos. Elvis was an amazing soul on so many levels and it is heartbreaking that people choose to believe only the negative. After my granddaughter's middle school teacher brought her to tears in front of her classmates because she had chosen Elvis Presley as the famous American on which to write her class assignment, I decided to see if she was correct. Being a fan is an understatement, but I wanted to discover the man, not the image. Three years later I was forced to consolidate the massive amount of information to fit a double layer DVD, then called the principal for an appointment. My charge to him was to watch it then give it to the teacher and inform her that as an educator she ls responsible to teach based on facts, not opinions and that according to the U.S. Dept. of Interior Elvis Presley was, not only a VERY famous American, but unlike any president, was known worldwide by his first name. Since then I have updated and uploaded the videos to RU-vid.

Wow, so cool Elvis held on to the German to English dictionary he got in the Army from a fan. This is some great stuff! And, I'd like to add, they sure do a nice job of filming these items, with close ups, etc. Excellent job.

I would've loooved to get to know him! His book collection shows he had so much depth in him. He's a 10 in every way!❤

An interesting inside look into what Elvis liked to read and what was going on inside his head. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While watching these videos I thought what if ever person was as generous as Elvis was the world would be a different place just a thought

It's finding all these amazing letters in Elvis's books, it would be great to see the pages of those books where these letters were found. I think Elvis would have put them there for a reason. 🤗

Thank you Angie this brings us so much closer to the man such a humble and spiritual man he was truly a man man among men and this is why, I believe, he had such a kind heart thank you for sharing

True measure of a man is the fondness which he is remembered... Big respect for this man and his achievements as I'm only 30 so I learn more everyday. Thank you for uploading these as I will never get to Graceland in my lifetime.

I share the same Birthday as Elvis, January 8th. It was interesting reading the sentences he'd underlined in his book on numerology about the number 8. Like him, I'm an avid reader too and keep personal things inside my books as well.

Elvis actually mentioned that book Leafs of Gold (It's a book about many different people's look on life) great to see the original here thanks for this amazing video I'm just awestruck by these personal items from The King.

I have now watched quite a few of these vids and wow! To see Elvis as a real person not just the star is truly a magnificent blessing… Thanks for all you do, light and love

I grew up on Elvis and Bob Seger (living in Detroit) and I finally got to check off Graceland off my Bucket list....my father passed in 2013 and I was able to take some of my fathers ashes to Graceland which Im sure was on his bucket list as well but passed early in life and never made it... as Im watching these videos looks like i have to make another visit cause things in your videos are alllll different from when I went in 2016....much love and Im going to keep on watching.... :)

You should have saved the pages you found the letters and stationary. Just the positions of pages could have been priceless insights.

Parallel universes have Dr. Elvis Presley, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at The University of Memphis. Always sang in church, took the collection, and still teaches a few adjunct courses as a retired educator.

This is so awesome. Well done.

In an interview, Elvis mentioned being given the book Leaves of Gold as gift as he was on a train during his deployment in the Army. I wish I could remember which interview it was.

So... I've been following your Gates of Graceland series because, not only am I an Elvis fan but I've toured the house twice. I've always been fascinated with the person that he was in private, more than his public life. This is a great series and hope to see more of these episodes. Saled Benitez mentioned doing an episode on his clothes, the ones he wore in private and around the house. I think that would be cool, too!

This video was extra special to me !!! Things I did not know .... Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼⚡️😇

Amazing, Loving this awesome series. Grateful to you for sharing parts of Elvis that were so important to him.

love that book with the gun shot in it plz bring more video like this am a big Elvis fan and am only 15 year old

Elvis was ahead of his time - all of his books and the way he lived is relevant to how modern day is too! He didn’t allow the rigidness of the 40s/50s take him down!

I hope at some point they show Elvis comics . He was so well read .

My parents had the book The First 100 Days of the Kennedy Administration as well. I remember going through it as a child.

Wow thank you ever so much for this series of videos, Tom & Angie. It's an excellent idea to keep the legacy of Elvis alive. More books? I'd also like to see things like his camera collection? (gadgets)? that could be an idea. In any case, thank you ever so much, it's so interesting. Bless you x

I would love to have that job to be able to go through the kings stuff

These videos are so great and you even find more amazing stuff along the way

That was exciting to see them open these books and find different stuff for the first time since Elvis passed away . It was a little sad too . Great video , thanks for sharing this !

in so glad I watch this video because I got the same book named, Leaves Of Gold that I ran across and bought from a Goodwill store and I've never read it but now I'm inspired to do so I bought it because it was unusual looking

Love these videos, keep up the good work. Always an interesting watch. Angie has the best job around.

you guys need to show us fans the upstairs !!!!! I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to see it

Great insight! Would love to have seen Larry Geller at the table with them.

So awesome! Thanks to you and Angie for so graciously bringing us these Gates of Graceland series!!!! I LOVE them!

This was my favorite of all the other videos from Graceland!

I APPLAUD Angie, and everyone at Graceland from the honorable CEO Jack Soden to the newest hire, for continuing to put together rare - informative - and exceptional Elvis Presley products (i.e. videos, books, audio files, blog, website, etc.). While I have never met Angie I, as a fan, say THANK YOU and GREAT JOB. I look forward to more awesome videos on your RU-vid page. Take care and may God bless you and yours...always.

I love all the stories you guys do

Elvis also read and gifted The Impersonal Life by Joseph S. Benner.

My parents have that one huge book of war. Crazy I've seen that hundreds of times but never thought Elvis would also have it.

Just WOW! I am a big fan of Elvis and a librarian too. I know of course about his relationship with reading and special books. It is such a surprise to be able to see part of his undoubtedly large collection up close as you show them. A wish come true. :-). Thank you so much!❤ I'd also like to thank the fan who brought the idea to you. ❤When I close my eyes I can see Elvis reading, pondering and writing things into the book. 😂

goodmorning, tom, and angie.. Watching now.. January.. 5,2024😊❤❤❤

The show is fabulous as always!! This one and the records are definitely two of my favorites. The Words of Wisdom book looks amazing. I can vision a wall with those framed, that I would walk by everyday and read. I’d love to find it, but have struck out so far. Would you give the author’s name please. I would be so appreciative. Thank you for helping keep our spirits up during the Quarantine.❤️

Would love to see more videos about his book collection if that is possible?

A great insight into Elvis, thankyou.

This is so pleasant. Please do more of these random findings 😇

That's wonderful ... thank you ... greetings from Germany 😊* .. .

"Back to where it belongs". But you didn't put it back in between the same pages. Perhaps there was some meaning for it being on that specific page? Oh well... ;) Love seeing these videos. Well done and thanks for sharing!!

I can see the kindred spirt this looks like the way. I mark my books up planing to go back and read them.

I admire Elvis more now....as a human being, especially. He had said, i recall: “the image and the human being are different”. When he was asked about his image by someone, fan, maybe, during a break from his rehearsal for the Madison Square Garden Concert.

These videos are precious! I hope you continue to do these. Thank you for sharing these with Elvis Fans!!!!!! 19:50

Thank you so much for doing these videos, I enjoy them so much!

There's always something amazing to discover about Elvis, lucky you to be so close to him through his belongings. Anything about his (real) place in the 1945 kids song contest ?

I have some Eric von Daniken books too ...love to think Elvis read these

Wonderful glimpse into a few of his books. Hope you solve the puzzle of the ring. Maybe Linda Knows which ring he received?

Awesome.a whole new look into what interested elvis

How interesting!

Elvis would be great at showing his stuff don’t ya think 🤔

Angie has a cool job!

Thank you so much very interesting. Quarantine watching 2020

Thanks for this amazing upload!

Thanks for the video I enjoyed it...🙏❤️😊

loved this ! thank you

You mentioned that Elvis gave copies of "The Prophet" away. I have read before that he gave numerous copies of a book called "The Impersonal Life" away too. I am into my 4th reading of the latter and recommend it to anyone seeking to find your spiritual self.

Loved it!

June Juanico, Elvis’ girlfriend from Biloxi, MS, first gave Elvis the book, The Prophet.

The Karate book is quite advanced. Elvis must've been an expert!

I remember that First 100 Days of the Kennedy Administration. My parents had it too!

Love these videos.

Do another Elvis book collection video

Elvis the reader. Nifty.

Thank you for pinning. Elvis is my fave. Did not know about this fact on Elvis.

These videos are great!!

This is better than going through the Vatican Archives!!!

Neat series!

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing....

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

♫💜‌‌‌LOVE THIS SERIES !!!! Thank you so much for these virtual tours. But it was disturbing observing closure of the books while discovering treasures inbetween pages before placing "back where they (most likely significantly) belong" ?!?!?!?

So cool to see

Angie has the greatest job

Great trivia.

The Prophet was given to ELVIS by JUNE JUANICO while they were dating 1955-56. She tells about it in her book, ELVIS, In The Twilight Of Memory. Their Love was a serious true Love 💕His first true Love... separated by his fame that was just starting to soar....young innocence 💕. JUNE+ ELVIS a TRUE LOVE story💕. 5-16-22

Elvis was a Capricorn as I and we love love to read and numerology and knowledge we absolutely love.

So cool

A local Mall store had one of Elvis’ Cadillacs that he shot with a .45 cal bullet through front fender near the front door. The mall is now gone, no idea where the car went.

Omg, elvis had a book from the judo champion Anton Geesink from my country😮The Netherlands

He is so missed

Fascinating. I'm sure someone will have a story about the football book with a bullet hole through it. lol

I wonder how Elvis bought and selected his books. Did he go to a book store? Did he know what he wanted and asked people to get them for him? It would be interesting to know whether he booked out a bookstore at night and went on trips to pick his selections?

She talked about the Warren Report that he had, it can be seen at 11:59
