This one is said to have been ghost written by Carl Hiaasen, who met Shulman in the early 1970s while a student at Emory University, where he spent two years before transferring to the University of Florida because it had a journalism school. Shulman was associate producer of the Michael J. Fox film, "Doc Hollywood," the screen title for the book. This is the true first edition.
