Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Big pages make for big illustrations, which are important in the visual field of hand reading. Lori Reid employs colour photos for her examples rather than relying on line drawings. This abundance of detailed illustration is an immense help when trying to match theory with reality. Much more than a book on palmistry, The Art of Hand Reading covers all the aspects of reading hands in clear detail, making this the perfect book for beginners, but just as useful for the experienced reader.
Synopsis
This guide explores every aspect of hand analysis. It begins with an introductory history of palmistry, tracing its origins and traditions. The opening section examines right and left handedness, and ambidexterity, and looks at the contrasting roles of the left and right hands, and the influences they have on our characters. The four basic hand types - Earth, Air, Fire and Water - are then presented together with a character profile of each type. The next section looks at the fingers and thumbs - length, shape, phalanges and fingerprints - and explains how each feature reflects upon your personality. The construction and meaning of the primary lines on the hand, including the life and fate lines, and secondary lines, such as the Mercury line, are studied. The final section details the practical application of hand reading, demonstrating how it can enrich our lives by giving us a deeper insight into our personalities, potential relationships, career possibilities, hobbies and plans for the future.

#1 book on Palmistry
11 Feb 2001
Format:Hardcover
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.

This book has great illustrations!
1 Oct 1998
Format:Hardcover
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!

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.
