Bruce Lee: Sifu, Friend and Big Brother
Palmer, a long-time friend of Bruce Lee and one of his youngest martial arts students, recounts Lee's early years, when he would train a multicultural group of local toughs in empty parking lots and backyards around Seattle. Palmer spends a summer with Lee and his family in Hong Kong and provides fascinating insight into Lee's personality, from his silly sense of humor and love of practical jokes to his uncanny ability to learn from different fighting traditions to hone his skills. Palmer's stories paint a picture of a fun-loving, intense young man who worked hard to excel at his craft.

Big Brother Bruce Lee
So far this is the best book on an insight of Bruce Lee that I have read. Doug Palmer makes Bruce Lee human! And we see a side of him outside of the cinematic image that brings him down to earth, his description of his time with him has us relived a brotherly relationship and a phenomenal gung fu teacher.
