[URBAN NOTE] "Coun. John Filion's Rob Ford book to hit shelves in October"

CBC shares the news from the Canadian Press.

The antics of Coun. Rob Ford have inspired yet another book — this time written by a fellow city councillor.

Random House Canada says John Filion's The Only Average Guy: Inside the Uncommon World of Rob Ford will examine "what drives him, why he acts the way he does, what's important to him."

Filion was a journalist before entering municipal politics, and Random House says he developed an unlikely camaraderie with the wildly unpredictable councillor from Etobicoke, Ont.
