Product Description
Book Description
When James Dean's life was cut tragically short by a high-speed car crash, a legend was born. Three decades later Dean is still idolised by a generation that hardly knows him and he has become a potent symbol of rebellious youth - an eternal teenager.
Now, for the first time, Jimmy Dean in his own words speaks out, and, with the comments of friends, family and contemporaries, a talented, complex and tragic figure is revealed.
Illustrated with a wealth of rare Dean memorabilia.

What is so refreshing about this book is that you are not granted with a 21st century fan-or-not read of James Dean but rather with a sum-up of his own words and those of who actually knew him well, in a time, rather than subject sequence. Thus this book provides you with actual facts for you to interpret. One of my best buys and certainly a wonderful book for all those interested in the man behind the myth. Good Health to you all.
I was not happy with this product at all,when I received it I discovered that EIGHT pages had been torn out of the book and some of the photos at disgusting messages written over them.All in all I was simply not satisfied with this product and will not be ordering another copy of it.

Jimmy
26 Mar 2002
This book is excellent. It is presented as abstract, creative, and genious as it's subject. It also includes some of the rarest pictures of Jimmy, and unlike some other Dean Biographies keff keff ("Boulevard"...) the writing is as engrossing as the pictures themselves. This is an excellent addition to any JBD library, along with "Rebel" by Spoto and "The Mutant King". This book is more refference of Jimmy as a person, than a straight-forward bio, but that's what makes it great.

This is a wonderful book of quotes from and about James Dean
1 Feb 1998
This book taught me so much about Dean's real feelings, what he was really like. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in his life. It is by far the best book ever published about James B.Dean.
Excellent book!! A MUST for every true James Dean Fan!!!

I loved this book because it was ALL Jimmy!! No commentaries/analyses, etc. from anyone else. Just HIS thoughts and feelings. It also is filled with photographs, some rather rare. I didn't give it five stars, though, because I was disappointed that ALL the photographs are in black and white and I, "wrongly," assumed there would be some that would be color. But I still say GET THIS BOOK WHILE YOU CAN!!
