Some people call it intuition, but in my case I'm just plain psychic." His head nods, and he draws a little closer. "When I was in Dartmouth College,
in the summertime one year I read palms at the Hearthstone Restaurant inIt was hard work but I was very good at it. "I could tell you things that've happened in this store you wouldn't believe. A classic case happened when this gal walked in one night and said, 'ReadI hear you're very good at it.' And I said, 'No, I don't want toI don't want to.' I just got this feeling. Her neck was dirty.

Preposterous Papa, now published in five languages and a best seller in West Germany, and Off the Sauce have sold over a million copies Preposterous Papa, (and its mate, Mostly Mama), about his unusual parents and well-to-do upbringing on their ranch in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, gives insight not only into the larger-than-life man Meyer describes as a "king, general, conquering hero, vote getter, supersalesman, father confessor, and trumpeter of the morn," it also offers clues about Meyer himself.

"There are more failures in the book business than even in restaurants or any other business in America," says Meyer.
