LOS ANGELES, CALIF.- A rare and personal telephone and address book owned and used by Elvis Presley, “The King of Rock and Roll,” is about to hit the auction block at Kruse GWS Auctions for the very first time. The address book was personally owned and used by Elvis and contains handwritten names, addresses and telephone numbers of some of the most influential people in his personal life and of his career. From starlets to major Hollywood players, Elvis kept personal numbers by his side in his bedside nightstand for many years. The telephone address book is well documented by a personal recollection by Priscilla Presley adding to its unique provenance. The book is part of a carefully curated auction to take place at Kruse GWS Auctions on Saturday, January 28th, 2023 beginning at 10:00 a.m. PT. The “Artifacts of Hollywood and Music” auction features a collection of unusual artifacts from the life and career of Elvis Presley, as well as a collection of unique memorabilia from film and television.




The telephone/address book contains phone numbers and some addresses of important players in Elvis’ life and cherished friends including Colonel Tom Parker, Pat and Shirley Boone, Nancy Sinatra, RCA’s Felton Jarvis, Joe Esposito and many others. There is also a page listing the names and phone numbers of Elvis’ entourage including Alan Fortas, Joe, Marty, Jerry and Billy. The book also contains various bits of papers and notes including a page from The Baton Rouge Hilton with names, phone numbers, addresses and a hand-drawn map of the highways surrounding the Mohave Desert. The extraordinary artifact from the life of Elvis Presley could not get more personal than that of a book which held important names and contact information of those Elvis cared about.
