Product Description
Product Description
A comprehensive guide to the principles and practice of the ancient art of hand reading, to reveal your hidden potential and for guidance on health, wealth, relationships and the future.
Practiced for thousands of years, palmistry is a sophisticated investigative process for building a personality profile. Each of our hands has a pattern of marks, whorls and lines which are unique to it and to us, and which represent a map of our subconscious drives and desires. By interpreting these complex messages in the hand, palmistry can reveal hidden talents and potential, and help us to understand our strengths and weaknesses in every walk of life.
Complete Illustrated Guide Palmistry includes:
Location and meaning of the major and minor lines
• Personality and health indicators
• How to assess compatibility through the hands
• Dating events from information in the hands
Lavishly illustrated throughout, this is a fascinating and comprehensive guide to the principles and practice of palmistry.
From the Back Cover
In this lavishly illustrated and accessible work, Peter West explains the meaning of all the different whorls, marks, starts, lines, and palmar or fingerprint patterns, and gives advice on the various techniques used to read a palm. He also provides compelling new evidence, based on his own unique experience, that there are signs in the hand that might predispose a person to both good and bad behaviour. Authoritative, practical and wide-ranging, The Complete Illustrated Guide to Palmistry charts the intricate, analytical process of character assessment through palm reading and its related disciplines. This and comprehensive guide to the principles and practice of palmistry includes information on:
• Handprints – how to make and store them

I expected more
4 Dec 1999
Format:Paperback
Personally, I was disappointed. I'm very interested in the subject and am constantly seeking out new views and information. I was first intrigued by Beverly Jaegers' Beyond Palmistry but found the illustrations in that book to be inadequate. The illustrations in The Complete Guide are spectacular and detailed, and it makes an excellent companion to Ms. Jaegers' volumes, but I found its content biased and inadequate. It was over-simplified and the hand types were too pigeon-holed; palmistry and its history are dynamic, complex topics and can't be effectively covered in this trendy, nebulous table-top book. But it's not as bad as some of the others I've read. If nothing else, it should be an interesting introduction to the topic or a nice conversation piece for your coffee table.

one of the few good palmistry book
29 Mar 2003
Format:Paperback
I have been interested in the subject of magic since i was a kid, and exploring palmistry and tarot reading now. I think there are very few good palmistry book. Usually the books that study the lines only dated too long back to be adequate, and usually the drawing is not clear and the explanation is not precise to grasp.
This book is more balanced in the approached and more -make sense- in a way. There are great pictures and historical storied and myth and enlight you as you read along wondering about the art and science of palmistry.
The book take a more elevated view approached that it see all the elements of palmistry with lots of illustration.
I also still agree that the book should put more emphasis on the line reading to be a perfect palmistry book, but nonetheles this book is way above the average of the palmisrty type book to merit my 5 stars.

Format:Paperback
This was the first Palmistry book I'd ever read. I was completely fascinated. I've read several others since, and none were as good. Perfect for someone who's curious about palm reading.
