A press-release was issued on the upcoming JAT Publishing book "'68 At 40" by Steve Binder. The press-release:

"This will be the definitive book on the making of the 1968 ELVIS PRESLEY television special."

JAT publishing is proud to present their latest book, ‘68 at 40, the definitive story on the making of the 1968 Elvis Presley TV Special, written by its director and producer Steve Binder.

At more than 125 pages, ‘68 at 40 will feature approximately 100 never before seen photos from the private collection of Timothy Mulrenan and Robert Brower along with rare documents and artifacts from Binder's personal collection.

With its informative text and magnificent photo selection and reproduction, '68 at 40 captures in great detail the essence and magic of ELVIS.

‘68 at 40 is due out on August 6th and will be limited to 1968 hard-cover copies and will include an 8"x 10" photo not used in the book and signed by Binder.

With of the 40th Anniversary of the 1968 special approaching, Binder felt it was time to pen his own book, having read so much on the special that didn't feel right with its director. And when it came time to find a publisher, JAT was Binder's only choice.

Steve explained, "Knowing Joe Tunzi personally and his JAT publishing company makes me very comfortable that I'm in good hands. I have found Joe to be a man of integrity and passion in keeping the Elvis legend alive."

Publisher Joe Tunzi offered these comments, "Being able to publish a book by Steve Binder about the legendary 1968 ELVIS T.V. Special was a dream come true."

Tunzi continued, "This is guaranteed to be one of the greatest books in our vast catalog. Steve is without question brilliant in every sense of the word and one of the most talented and creative minds I ever had the good fortune to work with. Not to mention a true gentleman."

Binder will kick-off the promotional tour for the book with a special appearance in Memphis during Elvis Week 2008.

The latest book from JAT Publishing, "68 At 40 Retrospective" is out. ElvisMatters did a short review and added this preview on-line.

From ElvisMatters site:

This one is already a winner. Tunzi releases one of his best books until now. The mix of pictures, text and documents is perfect. The text is written by director/producer Steve Binder. The book is setup as a diary, beginning with the very first negotiations and ending with looking back at the whole production. Binder documents his memories with lots of archive material. We’ll see his own handwritten notes from behind the control panel and we can read the first scenario’s, where the title ‘If I Can Dream’ was still blank and filled in with ‘Big Ballad’.

The pictures are page filling and from a never before seen quality. As if the book is not worth its money by itself, there is a picture of Steve and Elvis that was not published in the book. No ordinary postcard, but a full glossy signed 23x21cm photo.

If all releases are going to be on this level, we fans are going to be spoiled!
