A Great Start

An excellent introduction to the field of palmistry. This book first got me interested in the subject. Since then I have eagerly sought out other books of comparable quality on the subject. But there seems to be a dearth of well-written, thorough and no-nonsense books on palmistry, which is really a shame because, while this is a great book, there are definite failings. I believe the reader would benefit from more illustrations, and some of the diagrams were mis-referenced (the copy I have is the first edition, so there may have been corrections by now). Excellent and highly recommended, but probably not the only book you'll ever need. Refreshingly straightforward, respectful of audience, and inclusive (I have yet to read a comparable discussion of the more neglected aspects of palmistry, such as skin patterns, fingerprints, and nails): you won't regret reading it.

The science of modern hand analysis.

This book by Beverly Jaegers is an excelent book for anyone slightly interested in palmistry. It contains what lines and even fingerprints mean on the hand. This is the first book I've read that actually explained what fingerprints mean. This is a unique book.
