Wanting to learn reading techniques I bought and studied Richards book. I began by highlighting things that I thought were very important so later I could make a personal set of notes to study from. After going through the book once and looking back I noticed that about 95% of the book was highlighted. You will use everything in this book. No fluff. The illustrations are helpful and the decriptions are insightful.

Richard Webster has written some of the best books available on metaphysical subjects. This book is no exception. Palm Reading for Beginners is a great way to learn the basics of this ancient craft, from the shape of the hands, to what can be gleaned from the lines of the palm, and how to approach a hand reading in a professional manner. I highly recommend this work to anyone who wants to learn the correct way to paractice palmistry.

Im just another guy who bought this for the game. I use these techniques not only to impress but to weed out the ones that arent worth getting in your life. This book explains all you need to know in juvenile, easy to understand, terms. Trust me, whether you follow DeAngelo, Mystery, Gunwitch, or even Jeffries, you'll appreciate what you will learn in this book and the more you practice(sarge), the more proficient you'll become. Im almost at the glance level. Now if only I can find a book on cold reading, the two together work wonders (saw the proof in my regular wing).

I can't help feeling that this book was written in a hurry. Whilst I enjoyed reading it, I thought that the illustrations (of which there were many) were poor and quite artificial. Some of the areas of palm reading were beiefly glimpsed over. It seems very disjointed and the layout of each of the marks and areas of the hand could look more classified. While most of it is in here, there must be better than this.

Richard Webster explains the art of palmistry very clearly in this book. Easy enough for the beginner to understand and learn, yet comprehensive enough to cover all of the aspects of palmistry to a good degree. This is a book that anyone can understand, and if you are intrested in palmistry for fun or if you want to seriously study the art, this is the perfect book to start out with.

I've recommended this book to MANY people who rave about it. I've been a palmist from a young age and can tell you that this is one of the best palmistry books I've ever read.

Highly recommended.

This is a good book for people who have previous knowledge palm reading. There should have been more pictures of the palm and the drawing should have been labled. Some times I had to guess what areas of the palm the book was referring to because there wasn't enough pictures.

Richard Webster's Palm Reading For beginners provides a fine review of palmistry and fortunetelling, from learning major and minor hand lines to uncovering irregularities and learning to make predictions.

Some good explanations, but I'm not too convinced about the theories. There are too many gray areas and not enough explanations of subtle variations. But I guess it's just for beginners.

I bought this book for my 16 year old daughter. She flew through the entire book, and found it very interesting and helpful. It was easy for her to understand and it had clear hand illustrations which helped make the meanings clear.
