THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLERCalum Best should have had it all. As the only son of world-famous footballing legend George Best and his first wife Angie; a gorgeous English model; Calum was born into a world of privilege and opportunity.But his fatherrsquo;s fame came at a price; and Georgersquo;s playing career was soon overshadowed by his playboy lifestyle and an increasing dependence on the comforting embrace of alcohol. Whilst his tumultuous later years could never diminish the memories of the peerless; often breathtaking; quality of his football; they had a profound effect on Calum.Growing up with his mother in California; Calumrsquo;s visits to see his father in England were all too rare; and he cherished every moment he could spend in the company of the man he adored. But as Georgersquo;s alcoholism spiralled out of control; inebriation frequently led to violence and Georgersquo;s self-destruction spilled over onto his son.Vivid; deeply moving; brave and honest; Second Best is the heart-breaking story of their relationship. It is a powerful tale of love and suffering; of an absent father and his wayward son; and of a family torn apart by addiction.

Review
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Mere PamphletBy MarSamThis is merely a pamphlet. I have purchased several books for the same price with more instructions and pages in the book.This author repeats himself in each of the 2 books that I purchased; the pamphlet at regular price and drawing for the absolute beginner which was on sale; so I figure I broke even.My next art book may be from the book store; this way you are able to review each page and page numbers and actuallly have something tangible and insure that you are not being taken advantage of.The prices for electronic books are rediculous; you are saving trees and paying more for books that are there but not there. When will we stop taking adavantage of each other?
