One of the authors at the [1987 American Booksellers Association] convention was a person named Tolly Burkan, who is one of the top, if not the top firewalker in the United States. For the benefit of those of you who do not watch "Donahue," I should explain that firewalking is a very important new emerging growth trend where people walk on hot coals in bare feet. You will never in a jillion years guess what state this concept has gained great popularity in: California! Out in California, you can pay people money, and they will let you walk on their hot coals.
