I bought a 70s copy of the book for a friend turning 30. She had never heard of it but was fascinated by the concept; I think she was probably a bit let down by the book, to be honest.

However, for various reasons I wrote the words to 'Dear Nikki' in the front cover as part of a dedication (it was relevant, in several ways).

Some parts of that evening's birthday dinner were a bit stilted, I though. You know, some things a bit cold. It turned out her mum had popped up to see her in her hotel room that afternoon, found the book, found the inscription and, not being overly familiar with the Prince canon, assumed that the lyrics were actually a reminscence...

My god did I get in trouble for that one.

I've never seen it so I just looked it up on Wikipedia
I read the plot of the book and thought "This sounds good, I'll try and find a cheap DVD of it!"

...then read the (completely different) plot of the film O_o
