Overall an unusual first edition association copy of the Atlanta physician and author's second humorous novel after "Finally . . . I'm a Doctor." 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.

About Auldfarran Books, IOBA
"I have spent many delightful hours poring over the . . . lists of second-hand booksellers. . . . All these are redolent of romance. They are much more entertaining than half the novels that are written." -W. Somerset Maugham.

Whether you're a voracious, moderate or casual reader, or even if you believe (in the words of Anthony Burgess) "there's no better reason for not reading a book than owning it," we encourage your inquiries and special search requests.
