Elvis Presley Copy of Last Book Ever Read "A Scientific Search for the Face of Jesus" - This is a copy of the book, "A Scientific Search for the Face of Jesus", which is the same book that would become the last book Elvis Presley was reading before his tragic untimely passing. Elvis Presley was a voracious reader and was fascinated in a variety of topics, including sports, history, and religious/spiritual books. This book was published in 1972, and presents scientific evidence that the Shroud of Turin is authentic. Elvis was religious throughout his entire lifetime and later in life became a seeker of truth, confessing, "All I want is to know the truth, to know and experience God. I'm a searcher, that's what I'm all about." according to biographer Gary Tillery. This book is highly collectible.
