Amazon.com Review
Two thumbs up for this fascinating guide to palmistry. It's a clear, concise, wonderfully designed, simple yet exhaustive examination of the self-knowledge to be found in the palm of your hand. A greater portion of the brain is dedicated to the functioning of the hands than any other part of the body, so it's easy to imagine why so much information about our personality and mental predispositions are to be found there. Reid takes the reader step by step through the process of palm reading with this accessible textbook jam-packed with glossy full-color illustrations, anatomical drawings, charts, palm prints, graphs, photographs, glossaries, and more. While a daily meditation practice will guide you deep into your interior motivations, in The Art of Hand Reading you'll find an amazing amount of self-wisdom instantly within your grasp. --P. Randall Cohan
From School Library Journal
YA. Chirology, or the art of hand reading, seems to have appeared about the same time as the caveman. For centuries its reputation has oscillated between a venerated science and a banished hoax. Currently, it provides geneticists and psychologists with opportunities to study an individual's personality, health, physical characteristics, and background through the appearance of a person's hands. Reid's concisely written text contains the history, physiology, and the practical how-to of this practice. Intriguing tidbits of data strategically punctuate the presentation, adding interest, as well as educating and entertaining readers. Together, text and illustrations build a harmonious display of written word and visual effect. Most teens will enjoy finding personalities and potential in the palms of their hands and in those of their friends.?Pam Johnson, Fairfax County Public Library, VA

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!

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.
