Johny Geller is head of the book division of Curtis Brown UK, one of the top-top agencies. Here's a series of videos in which he talks of getting an agent, book deals, and so on.
I've never seen an agent do this before and wish more of them would do it. What better way to get a feel for whether or not you'd connect to an agent on a personal level!

Thanks for those links!

There are a lot of other good videos there, too. I was watching the one about how to cuddle without your arm going numb; very funny. :)

I saw him give a talk at a literature event. He was charming and funny even when dealing with irrational questions from irate writers clutching their unsold manuscripts in carrier bags. (not me)
