This Has to be the most accurate account of "Boo Boo's" life

This book written by Bruce's wife Linda with high quality glossy photo's (in the middle) has to be the most accurate account of his life. Written so near to his death when all is still clear in one's mind, I feel this gives the book the edge over some others that I have read claiming to be the life story. As an example, we all understand that Bruce hurt his back badly at one point in his life and it is common knowledge that he was laid up for many weeks/months. What is not clear is not is how this came about - some stories say that he got in a fight and was kicked in the back whilst others say that he had bad muscle spasms around his spine causing pressure on nerves etc which grew to be too much. However, in this book Linda states that she found him in agony in the gym (and this rings true from personal experiences with students) on the floor unable to move due to attempting to deadlift (stiff legged) a 200 lb barbell - which if he could achieve would enable him to stand up even if a grown man had got him in a head lock or similar. This all rings true to me and makes the other stories less believable. So on this one item and that fact that it was written so near his death I make my assumption taht this is the most accurate account of Bruce's life that you will ever read. IT NEEDS TO BE REPRINTED.

THE RAREST BRUCE LEE BOOK ? BY HIS WIFE 1975

This is not a review as such , but i believe this book published by 'STAR BOOKS' isbn 0 352 30043 4 in the uk is the definative review of his personal life by his wife linda lee. This is a superb read, written by someone who knew him best and gives a facinating insight into his life.My copy of the book was located back in 1985 much by accident in a oxfam shop.I expect it is very very valuable to collectors only (of course!) - if any one can give me a value (uk/us) , i would appreciate this.email me at ' DAVE@DUNK98.FREESERVE.CO.UK '
