I got this book because I was writing a research paper on palmistry. Out of the five books and two web sites I used as sources, this one was the most informative. Some of the books were witten as if they were trying to confuse the reader. This one had interseting anecdotes and asy to follow illustrations and discriptions.

I bought this book because it is not difficult to access the information I want and the illustrations are edited to apply only to the topic under scrutiny. Many of the books about palmistry show illustrations of the palm with all the possible lines at once. This is very confusing for me when I seek a particular piece of information I want at that moment. I am a working psychic and find that palmistry is much desired by the public, so have been working with it recently. Many of the books which I have read use such technical vocabulary and involved and complex explanation that I feel that I'm back in grad school. This book is well organized, easy to understand, and very explicit. The illustrations pertain only to the topic under discussion at that time and thus, are not subject to confusion and misunderstanding.

Negative points, it is not very detailed in some of the explanations, and does not cover the topic in great depth.

An excellent book for a beginner or someone who wants to locate specific information quickly and find the necessary facts simply presented.

I've been learning to read palms for 3 years and I have read a lot of palmistry books, a few of which were truly helpful. The first step is to get a good reference book (THIS ONE)!! I learned so much from this book that I actually wrote the author and thanked him. He was kind enough to write back. He lives in Australia and seems like a really cool guy. This book is simple and to the point, easy to follow, great for taking notes from. I would also recommend getting Health in Your Hands by Lori Reid.

I have many books on plamistry. Some have too much info to ever retain, some are way too basic. This one is just right for EVERYBODY. Here's why:

* The history is brief (about 4-5 pages which is all you will ever need to know on the topic unless you are devoting to major study

* The book tells you HOW to give a reading and a SCRIPT to follow. VERY FEW BOOKS DO THIS!!! This is worth it's weight in gold. I typed his script out and left blanks and when I give a reading I fill it in like a 'mad lib' but relevant to age and the palm.

* Nothing vague about it. BIG pictures. Excellent area on fingers too.

Richard Websters best material is not sold to lay people but this books seems to be the exception.

If you want to learn to read palms this is the best book for you. Richard Webster explans things so cleary in this book. I began learning how to read palms and give a desciption about someone in the very first chapter. Buying this book is definitly worth your time and money. You won't be disappointed.

Looking for a Palm Reading Bible you will go back to over all other pretty, colorful and modern New Age Palm Reading books? This is the one! Out of all the Palmistry books I go back to over and over when professional palm reading, this is the book I turn to. Why? Its black and white, diagrams give plenty of writing space for quick notes, writing style is down to earth and basic. For basic/intermediate study, this is a book based on old traditional rules.....Not a health study, more a realistic character study....I consider it the best I have in my Palmistry Library.

5/25/04 Richard Websters "How To Read Palms" was demonstrated in length in his reading of a palm of a 30 year old guy (Pg 258-261) & the palm of a 40 year old lady (Pg 262-265)/both readings were 'pretty stereotype of' as Gail Sheehy ,author of "Passages" discusses in her book "Passages" , 'the evolution of the human from 'childhood through old age'; the rest of the book scrutinized the lines,mounts,span ,length and texture of the hands the palms,the fingers,the thumbs) with an encouragement to the reader to become better a palm reading by reading that of various friends.The most interesting note to me was that the little finger always known as "the pinkie" is referred to as "the Mercury Finger"/the mount on the right hand palm leading up towards the thumb is "Venus",linking to mounts on the left of the right hand palm of Neptune,Lunar and "Outer Mars" with the fingers next to the thumb linked by "Inner Mars" named Jupiter,Saturn,Apollo,Mercury.
