Just curious about what books on fire manipulation you lot have come across other than those on this web site.

So far I have only come across
Fire Eating Manual A MANUAL OF INSTRUCTION by Benjamin Garth

With the exception of twirling books, club juggling books and club swinging books, (with a very small amount of info on fire use) I haven't seen anything at all anywhere except for here.

I think this is kinda a good thing, it makes it more likely that people will learn with others than on their own (maybe)

That's about it, I agree. But there is enough info on the net (please pick and choose carefully what you believe) to make volumes. Trust me, I have been spending time compiling much of it into small "books".

Don't bother with that book. I have it and it sucks. There is not nearly enough description or emphasis on safety and safely how-to's.

More thorough information can be gotton off of this website than that fire eating book.
It is by far not worth $10.

Sorry phuzzz. I would've posted sooner but the thread got away and I forgot about it until I saw it in a search recently.
Look through it, you might have a different opinion. I just think it was a trivialized presentation of some very dangerous acts.
Sorry again!
