Personally, I was disappointed. I'm very interested in the subject and am constantly seeking out new views and information. I was first intrigued by Beverly Jaegers' Beyond Palmistry but found the illustrations in that book to be inadequate. The illustrations in The Complete Guide are spectacular and detailed, and it makes an excellent companion to Ms. Jaegers' volumes, but I found its content biased and inadequate. It was over-simplified and the hand types were too pigeon-holed; palmistry and its history are dynamic, complex topics and can't be effectively covered in this trendy, nebulous table-top book. But it's not as bad as some of the others I've read. If nothing else, it should be an interesting introduction to the topic or a nice conversation piece for your coffee table.

I have been interested in the subject of magic since i was a kid, and exploring palmistry and tarot reading now. I think there are very few good palmistry book. Usually the books that study the lines only dated too long back to be adequate, and usually the drawing is not clear and the explanation is not precise to grasp.

This book is more balanced in the approached and more -make sense- in a way. There are great pictures and historical storied and myth and enlight you as you read along wondering about the art and science of palmistry.

The book take a more elevated view approached that it see all the elements of palmistry with lots of illustration.

I also still agree that the book should put more emphasis on the line reading to be a perfect palmistry book, but nonetheles this book is way above the average of the palmisrty type book to merit my 5 stars.

This was the first Palmistry book I'd ever read. I was completely fascinated. I've read several others since, and none were as good. Perfect for someone who's curious about palm reading.
