Bruce Lee's Books

The Bruce Lee Library

The Bruce Lee Library is a book of volumes covering Bruce Lee's autobiography and martial art abilities of the Jeet Kune Do movement. The volumes were compiled and edited by John Little.Bruce Lee Little was selected by the Bruce Lee estate as the only person authorized to review the entirety of Lee's private notes and to write and edit books on Lee's martial art techniques of Jeet Kune Do.
The majority of the notes used for these volumes are from Bruce Lee's own materials and writings made available by Bruce Lee's widow Linda Lee Cadwell. Lee had compiled many volumes worth of materials during his convalescence after he suffered a back injury during one of his martial arts training sessions in 1970. A few books were published in the early 1970s, including The Tao of Jeet Kune Do. During the late 1990s this material was revisited and compiled into five core texts and various other Bruce Lee biographies. These volumes are a combination of Lee's original notes along interviews and conversations with many of Lee's students, friends, family members, and fellow actors. The volumes are published by the "Charles E. Tuttle Co., Inc."
