In
the fourth part of our "Making Of" documentary
we give you an inside view on the production steps
at the printing company "Dassel Druck"
in Arnsberg / Germany. At this point the printing
plates - which were produced last week in the 3rd
part of the making of - were used in combination
with the 4 basic colours to produce the sheets for
the book. The printing process is an extensive and
difficult work because all 4 printing plates have
to be adjusted precisely because otherwise you will
get only blurry pictures because of a faulty grid
pattern.
Soon you will find on this website the 5th and final
part of the Making Of Documentary. As always, the
book will be available through the official website
www.praytome-publishing.com . You may also ask you
local Elvis-dealer for "Elvis on Tour '75".

is very important to co-operate with professionals

Sandi
Pichon's new book about our man
Praytome
Publishing announced Sandi Pichon's new book
in December 2006 when the idea about the book
was born. Her enthusiasm and love for Elvis
was a great basis for a co-operation. The
team spent dozens of hours since that day
to create a new live book about Elvis and
very soon you will have the chance to accompany
the production of the book. Check back soon
for more details.
Today we make available the cover of the book.
We decided to show you an extra large image
to get a better idea of what it will look
like
and so you are also able to see that we
- as always - pay attention to produce
high quality products.

Read Sandi's idea about her
second book:
After the huge success and the positive criticism
on my first book (Raised on Elvis! Elvis! Elvis!)
I have decided to write another book. My first book
dealed mainly with my personal memories how I met
Elvis at the beginning of the 50s and later in the
70s visited over hundred of his sold out concerts.
My
second book will be an illustrated book, dealing with
the concert years of the late Elvis 1970 - 1977.
Because I attach great importance to the quality of
my books, there could only be one address for where
my book should be produced and released. When it comes
to Elvis releases "Praytome Publishing"
is the standard in all quality concerns. From the
actual print, the paper to the complex picture restoration
this company has set new standards during the last
years. In the tradition of the book "Elvis -
Born To Rock" (Bud Glass), which was ground-breaking
in terms of quality, cost/performance ratio and content,
I want to open another chapter in the Elvis world.
I was not only able to win the "Behind The Image
- Team" for this project, but was also able to
get famous photographers like my good friend Keith
Alverson, who contributed a lot of great photos.
The
release date is the third quarter of 2007 and during
Elvis week 2007 me and the complete Team will be in
Memphis, and will be available for signing autographs.
I'm
looking forward to seeing you all in person and I
hope all Elvis fans will like my new book.
Sandi
Pichon
