Reviewer: Psychic Vickiveil from Cincinnati, Ohio United States Terrific Palmistry book here. The photos are mainly life size, as well as in color. When Lori goes into description on any certain line or aspect of a line, you have the photo example of the palm, rather than a hand drawn black and white scribble. Ever try to locate a fine line on your hand from a cartoon style drawing?!?! It will certainly throw away your interest in palmistry fast! I wished I would have saved time and money by purchasing this book right off the bat. Being hardcover, large size, and photos of real hands, makes it easy to learn and locate the lines on your hands or a friends hands while still holding the book open on the table or your lap. The only reason I didn't rate this book a 5 star is because I do wish they would have went more into descriptions of the variations that can take place in the lines. They touched on this subject more so than any other palmistry book. However, since I did find this remarkably informative, I think what I am looking for isn't going to come inside any book. So outside of this book coming with a live teacher for the student! I think you will find it one of the best available! The book even presented sample readings along with the wonderful visual guides.
I thought that this book had an easy way of showing me on how to become more proficient in the arts of palmistry. Everyone wanted to borrow it from me. It explained things more with the pictures and illustrations, than any other of the books I have read on this subject. I would like to recommend this book for anyone who is interested in palmistry. This book is excellent!
I've got several books on Palmistry, and this one stands head and shoulders above the rest -at least, for those relatively new to the art. This is not meant to be some advanced text for the expert looking for more unusual, esoteric interpretations; it does what it was designed to do extremely well. For the vast majority of people interested in the subject, it will be the only book on palmistry they'll ever need.It's primary advantage is it's employment of full color photographs. Visual aides are extremely important in properly getting across the widely varying physical elements of something like palmistry, and where most books fail, it's due to using overly simplified and frankly, unrealistic drawings. Most hands in the real world do not fit so neatly into the template of an idealized hand drawing. This book however, is much clearer and does a better job of conveying it's information clearly. Why don't the other books do this?The information is also doled out at a logical and comfortable pace for the beginner, and things are neatly organized. It was a joy to read and learn from.
The Art of Hand Reading is a great book to start your hand reading with. The pictures are very good, and the information is descriptive. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a (hardcover) book for hand-reading.
I loved this book - I am more of a visual person so I enjoyed reading this book. Some new insights that I couldnt find in the other books I readI have read - Idiots Guide to Palmistry and Everything about Palmistry however this book stands apart due to the actual pictures of the palm and interpretation.Its not easy to imagine Ring of Solomon on a finger with black and white pictures drawn but this book due to the actual pictures of the palm made me understand how to find the markings distinctly.
I am no expert, and I have never read another book on palmistry.But this book is not the best place to learn from. Its not a lot of material or examples. Something basic as to whether(or what the difference is between those two) , to read the left or the right hand seems to have been left out.Also a section the history of hand reading or that of how the hand is constructed, seems unnecessary.I regret making this purchase.
This is a fantastic book on palmistry and hand reading. Loads of great pictures and interesting text make it fun and easy to use. If you are even mildly interested in palmistry, definitely check this book out. It's also great to take to parties and family gatherings- people have a good time reading hands, and it's so clearly laid out that everyone can understand and enjoy. Highly recommended!
Just what I was looking for on the Art of Hand Reading! Excellent used book vendor (Jenson Online Inc.) at a fraction of what it would have cost new. Lots of color photographs of actual hands and very descriptive of meanings of both major and minor lines without unnecessary "interpretations" so that I am comfortable with intuitively understanding patterns. I also appreciated her hints on how to ink your own palms/fingers/thumb and print your hand on paper for comparison later. I recommend this hardcover book for ease of use and ease of understanding.
