Instant Palm Reader by Linda Domin is all that its title promises--most people can learn to read palms quickly and easily. The book is designed as a "self-guided tour" and is filled with large, clear illustrations. Domin suggests that readers "start by just looking at your opened right palm, while turning the pages with your left hand and comparing your own palm lines with those pictured." Depending on how long you stop to study each line in your palm, you can get through all the pictures in less than two hours. Each line is described in detail, as to whether it is thick or thin, long or short, curved or straight, broken or solid, or intersects with other lines or markings. Domin provides an interpretation to match every variance. For those interested in more depth, Domin offers the history of palmistry in her introduction. She says that "Aristotle was the first to maintain that the grooves, creases, and lines in the palm are a result of nervous and muscular interplay directed by the brain." Domin further explains that "a large percentage of nerve fibers leading from the brain are projected towards the outer extremities" and that "information stored in the brain is then projected upon the surface of the palm, like a video camera projects an image through a network of cables onto a screen." The final chapter of the book is directed to those who want to become a professional palmist, with instructions and tips for reading the palms of others for a fee. Domin also includes a bibliography for readers desiring further information. Domin says "your hands contain the physical, emotional, and mental picture of the real you." Instant Palm Reader will help you discover the "guidelines for a happier and more fulfilling life" that are imprinted upon your hands.
I'm an avid reader of palmistry text, and this book is very simple for anyone who is slightly interested in palmistry and knowing his or her personality and future. She also gives a point out or two for people who want to do palm reading as a profession. The insight this book gives is incredible because I've found it to be truthful when I've analyzed my own palm, and others. If you are skeptical, this book might just win you over. If not, oh well, it's still fun and entertaining!
This book was a hit at my house! I had read some of the poor reviews, but based on the cover and the title "Instant Palm Reader", I went into this assuming it was a basic introduction to palm reading. It clearly states in the book that to become professional you will need more training. If you want to openly wow your friends, you would need to invest time memorizing the different patterns of the palms so you don't take too much time flipping through pages to find the meanings like I had to, but my friends and I still had a blast turning the pages, palms out, and finding the readings to be typically spot on! Lots of entertainment for a very good price!
I have found Instant Palm Reader to be an entertaining work by a well written author. The illistrations are fun and works well on our coffee table to amuse guests with. My impression is of well thought out, easy to understand, guidelines for interest with a touch of history and science, rather than a serious document for study of the intricate art of Palmistry. Ms Domin provides an outline for the possiblity of further study, but for me, this is a most delightfully entertaining read.
My daughter purchased this book for a friend's birthday, and they really enjoyed it, it is easy to use and follow, and they all read each other's palms at the party (they are all around 18). The recipient liked and still uses it, several months later. Worth the money if you have a casual interest.
I actually have this book in paperback but love being able to take it with me in my Kindle. It's easy to read and fun to use with your friends at a party.
Needs better and clearer meanings, but otherwise it is interesting pictures are better and clearer unusual and changelling.Thank-you. Julie.
i love the bigger pictures in the book thank you very much, book looks brand new in great shape and was still dry on a raining day!!!
