The story of how Tuttle - a Tokyo-headquartered pan-Asian publisher of some of the finest pictorial books on Asian history, language and culture - got the exclusive rights to all of martial arts legend Bruce Lee's works, is touching. Tuttle's tales of tantalizing literary trials and triumphs

"We were one of the very first to publish books about martial arts back in the 1950s and 1960s," says Tuttle's publisher and CEO, Eric Oey, who managed an e-mail interview for China Daily, in between flying across continents. Tuttle has offices in Singapore, Jakarta, Petaling Jaya in Malaysia and North Clarendon in the United States, which keeps its hyperactive CEO on his toes.

"We were approached by his widow, Linda Lee Cadwell, to publish Bruce Lee's works when she found out (soon after Lee's death) that most of the martial arts books in Lee's personal library were published by Tuttle."
