The creator of Gilligan's Island tells the life story of the show: from the labor pains of scripting and casting to its golden years of afternoon reruns. Fascinating history that could be known only by the show's creator is enhanced by wonderful photos from the author's personal collection, as well as forewords by all seven Castaways. All this behind-the-scenes information makes the book a special treat, not only for fans, but for anyone interested in an inside look at the television industry. Reissue.
