Re: writing a book

You can legally write a book about any public figure, famous athelete. The Pictures however may be copyrighted and as such you will need the owner of the copyright's consent. If these are personal pictures given to you as a friend, you have the right to publish them.

If you are in need of more assistance, please feel free to contact me.
