Leather-bound with gold lettering and 1,600 pages long, this Bible was given to Elvis Presley from his uncle and aunt, for his first Christmas at his Graceland estate in Memphis, in 1957.
This Bible was used by Elvis Presley until his death on 16 August 1977. Bearing his annotations, the Holy Book went for £59,000 at auction in England, on 8 Sept 2012.

EVERY THING, PATIENCE WILL
REWARD YOU AND REVEAL
ALL ANSWERS TO YOUR

FOR WHAT IS A MAN ADVANTAGED IF HE GAIN
THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE HIMSELF OR BE
CAST AWAY.
