I've read this edition first, which was enjoyable , but then I saw the earlier edition in a second hand book shop. I was amazed by the contrast because the earlier edition was thoroughly illustrated with photographs, which made it very appealing and attractive. This edition have a short section of pictures attached in the middle, but sketch drawing used throughout to illustrate, which I find it rather dry to reading. I brought the earlier edition too as a result.

I think Mr. Morris did an excellent job with Peoplewatching. I think it's a book that anyone wanting to learn more about human non-verbal communication can learn from. My other favorite book on body language, though a little more intimate, is The System by Roy Valentine. These are two books I will have and study for years to come.

This book is fantastic. It goes into great detail & is very informative. Desmond Morris tells it in a way that keeps you interested even at the boring parts. I'd definitely recommend this book.

Detailed if slightly flat
There is no doubt Desmond Morris has gone to great lengths to detail the workings of the human body and why we do the things we do. Read more

Disappointing
This book is a fairly shallow re-write of "Manwatching" an analysis of body language that was published in 1977. Read more

Quality fare
This book meets the high standards of other Desmond Morris books. Defninitely not stereotype body-language book. Read more
