Elvis Presley:
An Illustrated Biography
Elvis Presley:
An Illustrated Biography (published in the US
as The Illustrated Elvis) reached the Number
1 position in the New York Times bestseller
list of October 1977, with over one million copies
sold. Being
a genuine fan and something of an authority on Elvis,
Harbinson went on to write the text for other 'Elvis'
books, including a large-format illustrated biography
called, simply, Elvis, and published by Colour
Library Books Ltd (Bramley Books) in 1992. The book
remained in print for many years and a special 'commemorative'
edition was published in 1997.
“Powerfully written… packed with facts and 400 photographs.”
-Leicester Mercury
“Obviously written by a Presley fan, but one with a clear vision who is able to criticise as well as praise… the most appealing aspect of the book for Elvis fans must be the superb collection of photographs.”
-Leicester Mercury
“A collector’s piece… some of the photographs Harbinson has turned up are magnificent.”
-Sheffield Morning Telegraph
“Decent and imaginative English prose… and the photographs are superb.”
-Irish Press

Bronson: A Biographical Portrait
This biography was written in 1975 when Charles Bronson was the hottest box office attraction in cinema with four movies released in that one year alone. Combining his skills as both journalistic researcher and novelist, Harbinson produced an exceptionally vivid ‘biographical portrait’ of the reclusive actor… as a boy, a man, a film star… and an heroic cult figure. The resultant book was first published in the U.S as a paperback original (Pinnacle, 1975) then, the following year, in Great Britain as both a hardback (W..H. Allen, London) and a paperback (Star Books, London). It is now out of print.
“A powerful and penetrating analytic book…”
-Photoplay
“A brave attempt to assess the appeal of this extraordinary actor…”
-Screen International
“The story of how he became a cult figure, a sex symbol at the age of fifty, a star from Pole to Pole without any help from Hollywood is an astonishing one… a most unusual biography of an extraordinary man.”
-Cosmopolitan
“An oddly complex, sometimes controversial, and graphic portrait of the most unusual cult figure in contemporary cinema.”
-Club International

Evita:
Saint or Sinner?
Harbinson
wrote the text for another large-format, illustrated
book, Evita: A Legend for the Seventies, published
by W.H.Allen (Star Books) in 1977. A later biography,
Evita: Saint or Sinner?, included additional
text about the making of the Alan Parker movie and
an accompanying biography of the movie's star, Madonna.
The published book reached the Number 6 position in
The Times's "Top Ten Movie and TV Tie-Ins"
of August 1996. It was also a big seller for St. Martin's
Press in the U.S |
