I sold Belinda Carlisle a book about giant squids
In 1999 I was running the science section of Dillons bookshop in Birmingham and had rather rashly ordered five copies of Richard Ellis’ tome The Search For The Giant Squid.
One day a glamorous lady and her snotty son came in. The son snottily announced, “My grandfather was Captain Nemo and I want a book on giant squids”. They were directed to my department where, indeed, I had such a book.
The woman was Belinda Carlisle who had married, and bred with, James Mason’s son. She bought a copy.
