4.0 out of 5 stars Review by Glen., December 7, 2000

This review is from: The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Palmistry (Paperback)

This book is very informative. It takes some time to read and learn but is worth your time and money. I have been reading palms for over a year now and this book is the main book I read to learn the art. I love the book and I hope you'll like it too.
