Sure as hell wasn't Phil.
He's the worst trivia partner you could ask for when it comes to GD trivia.
I've found some discrepancies between Jerry's first guitar in Phil's book vs The Long Strange Trip documentary released earlier this summer.

Phil seems like a fairly literate individual, and is certainly capable of writing his own book. I don't have my copy of 'SFTS' handy to see if he credits his editor / ghostwriter / co-author.
When that one was published, Mr. Lesh was playing more gigs compared to now. Maybe he didn't have enough time to sit down at the typewriter back then.

If you use "should of", which means absolutely nothing, instead of "should have", which can be shortened to "should've", you aren't really in a great position to criticize other people's writing

I didn't finish high school because I was getting my groove on tour. I don't concern myself with these petty things in life such as my spelling on a message board.

Folks who concern themselves
Folks who concern themselves over grammatical errors in venues such as this amuse me. Pointing them out usually indicates an insecurity with themselves, methinks. Or, more likely, they just aren't educated enough on the subject matter itself so that's what they are left with. Text messages must drive them crazy

that’s always a good one! your basic grammar and spelling skills will be formed well before you dropped out of high school and miraculously one can STILL LEARN THINGS after they have dropped out of high school as well.
Phil might have used a ghost writer for his book but I imagine he could put a few posts together without a selfing.
