From the Elvis Information Network:

Who is the greatest: Elvis or The Beatles? is a worthwhile book because, as a university student text, it challenges and provokes the reader. The authors' objective is to sort out facts from myths and present them, along with statistical information, in a logical progression in order to generate informed discussion. In fact, the book is a good antidote to chat groups, which tend to generate strong opinions based on very little fact.

Although apparently not a university press publication, Who is the greatest: Elvis or The Beatles? is intended as a textbook for a Music History or Popular Culture survey course. It is suitable for high school/junior college or university level. Mike Shellans is a music professor at Arizona State University and Bill Slater is a video/film editor at Capella University.

The book is succinct and well organised with thorough background information about singers, instrumentalists, their careers, managers, producers, musical influences, performance styles. There are comparison charts, discographies, lists of movies and of television appearances.
