First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 310 pages. The author's eleventh novel. One of Carl Hiaasen's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a large first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents Carl Hiaasen's "Nature Girl". One of his funniest, that is, best novels. "Feels like a Shakespearean comedy, a mix of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and 'As You Like It', in which a group of confused lovers tangle with a gang of 'rude mechanicals' deep in the Forest of Arden. Here, Arden is one of the Ten Thousand Islands in the famous Florida Wilderness area. Our heroine, playing a variation on Rosalind, is a slightly screwy gal named Honey Santana, who possesses the tragic flaw of demanding 'more decency and consideration from her fellow humans than they demand of themselves'. That's a tall order when your fellow humans include a foul-smelling fishmonger who may be the world's most deranged stalker and a ne'er-do-well telephone solicitor who has the bad luck of calling Honey at the dinner hour. As funny as any thriller writer alive" (Bill Ott). An absolute "must-have" title for Carl Hiaasen collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the title page by Carl Hiaasen. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is now collectible. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER CARL HIAASEN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0307262995.
