A wide-ranging history of royal automobiles in twentieth-century Iran. Iran's monarchial history spans over 2,500 years; the automobile's, not much over a century. It was not long after the advent of the earliest cars, however, that Iran's Shahan Shahs used their broad powers to begin procuring some of the world's most renowned and unique automobiles for their royal garages. In his wide-ranging new book, Iranian automotive historian Borzou Sepasi details the story of the royal garage of each Shah of Iran, beginning in 1900 with Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar, who, despite importing the country's first car, forbade drivers from traveling faster than horse-drawn carriages. Intertwining the major events in Iran's recent history--including the 1979 revolution and the end of monarchial rule--with the cars of the period, Fit for a King highlights the special roles these singular luxury vehicles played throughout the twentieth century. Magnificently illustrated with more than six hundred images of regal vehicles, Sepasi's book shines a light for Western readers on this fascinating yet little-known niche in automotive history.
This love is a ruse. I must not take it seriously… Eccentric neighbor, loyal friend and total innocent Elissa was exactly who Kingston Roper needed to get him out of a romantic bind. His sister-in-law’s intentions were anything but sisterly, and King had to produce a make-believe lover to run interference. Sweet Elissa fit the bill nicely. The act seemed foolproof…until seeing Elissa in his bed heated King’s blood and holding her filled him with unbearable longing. As the fantasy threatened to become reality, King was torn—did he desire a woman he could not touch? Would he touch a woman he dared not love?

Kitty Dolan recalls a visit with Elvis in Killeen, Texas, right after his mother's death. "We drove in Elvis's white Cadillac to the house they had rented from Judge Crawford. . . .That night we sat down to dinner, with Elvis at one end of the table and his father at the other. Then his grandmother. There was a big platter of white bread for sandwich makings and a big platter of southern baked beans. Theat was topped off with a delicious pie his Grandmammy had baked. Elvis looked at me with a shy, little smile and said, 'I hope you like our southern cooking.'" Elvis Presley liked traditional southern cooking. In Fit for a KingTM are more then 300 recipes for the foods Elvis enjoyed, including many from his longtime cook Alvena Roy. Also included are menus for meals served at Graceland, for Elvis and Priscilla's wedding reception, for the Beatles' visit, and for Christmas in Memphis. The memories Elvis's friends have of mealtimes with him at Graceland depict him as a thoughtful, considerate, and fun-loving person. Many of the seventy photographs are published here for the first time.
Graceland's Table is the first cookbook written with the full cooperation of Elvis Presley Enterprises. In addition to recipes from fans for Elvis, the book includes photographs of Elvis at home and full-color food photos taken in Graceland for the book. The 175 recipes in Graceland's Table come from two sources: EPE's archives of Elvis's favorite recipes and Elvis's fans. The recipes from the fans were solicited through EPE's electronic newsletter, its catalog, and the more than 400 fan clubs. Fans submitted a recipe they would have liked to cook for Elvis should they have been invited to Graceland for a meal and explained the reason for their choice. Fans were asked to submit recipes linked to a particular song or movie title or person in Elvis's life (e.g. Love Me Chicken Tenders, Colonel Parkerhouse Rolls, Blue Suede Berry Pie). Twelve recipes came from EPE and over 150 from the fans. The book also has 35 B&W photos of Elvis and Graceland and 20 full-color food photos, trivia, and stories by those who knew Elvis such as Joe Esposito, Elvis's road manager, Patty Perry, the only female member of the Memphis Mafia, and Marian Cocke, Elvis's nurse.
About the Book This story came to life as the author was preparing to lead a lesson on the virtue of humility in a purity group in which her daughters were involved. In an effort to remember what humility was, the acronym E.G.G.S came to her mind. Each letter stands for an element of the definition of humility. Ironically, God had to teach Maria what humility was in a profound way when she was in the hospital for four days and leaned on the arms of some wonderful family and friends. The original story did not have Teresa learning the lesson about asking for help when needed. This was entered in after God reminded Maria that humility is not only serving, but allowing oneself to be served when the time arises. God is so good and her prayer is that this story brings all the glory to Him! About the Author Maria Stewart lives in Wichita, Kansas with her husband, Chris, and their seven children. (See if you can find her children's names in the book- Demi, Teresa, Rose (Rosie), Thomas, Joseph, Anthony, and Mary). She is a graduate from Franciscan University of Steubenville where she majored in Elementary Education and Theology. She and her family have a love for teaching and evangelization which is evident by their involvement in Casting Nets Ministries (www.CastingNetsOnline.com). She also keeps busy with homeschooling her elementary age children and foster care. About the Illustrator Steve Cost is a blessed individual doing what he loves doing, teaching young people about the creation of art, enjoying his grandchildren and helping others. "Reading, An Omelet fit for a King, as a family was not only entertaining but also spiritually enriching. My children enjoyed the simple storyline as well as the catechetical component of living as children of God. The conversation that followed our reading time was most thoughtful as we discussed ways that we could grow in understanding the EGGS that apply to each of us each day. As a home schooling mother of eight, I am always eager to read books that I can incorporate into my curriculum and I believe that An Omelet Fit for a King will be a story that we take off of the shelf often to revisit it's deep and profound message."
