INSCRIBED BIBLE. Today's English Version of The New Testament and Psalms. NY: MacMillan Co., 1966, 1971. In wraps. Cover soiled. Signed and Inscribed on the half title by Elvis Presley: "To Master Rhee and Cecile With Love and Respect / Elvis Presley." Presley' interest in martial arts began during his military service in Germany. While in California working on films, he began to study karate with Ed Parker. A few years later, hairstylist Larry Geller would introduce Presley to studies in spirituality, including an interest in eastern religion and mysticism, though Presley never abandoned the faith of his youth. In 1972 Presley began to study Tae Kwon Do in Memphis with Kang Rhee, who soon became a part of Elvis's entourage. This bible was inscribed to Rhee and his wife by Elvis during a visit to Graceland, and is a remarkable association piece connecting two great passions of Presley's life.
