Elvis Presley's bible sells for £59,000

A bible used by Elvis Presley has sold at auction for £59,000, The Guardian reports.
The holy book, given to the singer on his first Christmas in Graceland in 1957, was expected to fetch around £25,000 but went for more than double its value.
But a pair of Presley's unwashed and soiled underpants, worn underneath his famous white jumpsuit during a 1977 concert performance, went unsold.
Bids for the underwear reached £5,000 but failed to meet the £7,000 reserve price.
The entire Elvis collection, owned by a single British collector, went for more than £100,000 at Omega Auctions in Stockport, Cheshire.
The bible was used by Presley throughout his life until his death on 16 August 1977 and contains his handwritten notes, thoughts and annotations.
"You could hear a pin drop when it sold for that price,” Karen Fairweather, sales room manager said.
The winning telephone bidder, who did not want to be identified, was an American man based in the UK.
