BIOGRAPHY

(Man Enough To Be A Woman - By Jayne County & Rupert Smith)


FRONT COVER Jayne's biography was published in 1995 by Serpents Tail. It contains 184 pages of Jayne's memoirs along with numerous photos. I strongly recommend this as a book you'll pick up and not want to put down. To order at your local bookstore quote ISBN 18524233382. Oh, apparently it's Boy George's favourite book too (according to "Boyz" magazine - Feb. '96). So if you don't believe me - believe him.


Rupert Smith's other books are: "Physique:The Life Of John S. Barrington" (Published by Serpents Tail) & "I Must Confess" (A novel published by Hamish Hamilton).
