"I guessed it would sell about 3,000 copies," he ruefully told the Association of Canadian Advertisers. "So I gave the copyright to my son David for his 21st birthday. This was a ghastly mistake. The book sold 400,000 copies. The net result is that my son has spent two years on safari in Africa and skiing in Austria, while I've been working my fingers to the bone. The least he might do is to stop...
