This book was given to George Lee with a fabulous dedication: ?George, man this is cool! Peace-Love-Brotherhood? Bruce is referring to the page he dog-eared - page 161 describing the flying side kick, a technique which Bruce Lee became famous. Bruce Lee would underline or mark information that he deemed valuable and wanted to pass on to George Lee. Also it appears Bruce may have spilled a bit soy sauce, as can be seen on top; many of the pages show fingerprints and smudges, many on the chapter's description that appear on the bottom of each page seem to be pressed over and over as well. Pages of interest show a very familiar "Cat Stance', a body chart and the footwork pages show many fingerprints and impressions. Lee was probably eating while going through the book. We gratefully thank George Lee and David Tadman for authentication.
