As I read through this book it really seemed more about Bart Baggett bragging about how many women he slept with than about any secrets to making love or relationships happen. After several shocking pages of reading about his "sl*t" and "wh*re" and "b**ch" conquests (all his word choices, not mine!), in a book about "making love happen." I am seriously confused. Why would a man, who by his own admission is 1) highly promiscuous and seeks out vulnerable women in order to "get laid," 2) has never been in a seriously committed relationship and 3) openly views any woman who would have a sexual interest in him as a "sl*t," writing a book on "LOVE." This book is not about true relationships nor is it in any way about love or creating a loving relationship.

Although I read this book through, I am pretty much done ever purchasing another product from his company (EVER). I was equally disgusted by Bart Baggett's reference in this book to the woman he "build enough rapport with" to "gain her trust" because her handwriting indicated she would be a "good lay." She admitted to him she had been raped in a hotel they drove past. His response was that he now "wouldn't touch her" for sex "because of what had been done to her" he "didn't know what he might catch." Astonishing... no STUNNING admission on HIS part!

I was also troubled that I saw a lot of information from more mature and experienced handwriting experts (some deceased), appear in this book. Strangely absent were reference numbers or quotation marks. Interesting! To my curious eye, pretty much all of the uncited epiphanies he supplies throughout this book, seem remarkably similar to those presented by his "unofficial mentors" in their books. Even in his "change your handwriting in 30 days" materials I found many outright "similarities" between his suggestions and the work "Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life" by Vimala Rodgers... as well as many works created decades past. It might be time for someone to dust off their "out of print" handwriting and graphology books and give this man some serious scrutiny (no laughter here).

In my opinion Mr. Baggett seems to have a lot of trouble giving others the credit they are due for their ideas. Also his book has made me wonder whether a "t" crossed excessively high is more about narcissism than high self-esteem. Honestly, (no lying loops here!) I decided that it was better to "circular file" this book rather than even to donate it to the local library. I wish I had spent the money on a pizza instead.

He's a very good speaker, he does have a (biting) sense of humor, he is overly obsessed with sex (which can be funny but ultimately just gets tiring), he's a brilliant *marketer*. He is talented at handwriting traits but I would assume that his lower loops all run into the next lines every time - he has too many irons in the fire. The reader is left with the feeling that we, the book purchasers, are not worth hiring an editor, nor running Spell Check (even once??).

Dr. Erika Karohs is the real deal - Bart is .... not.

I've invested quite a bit of money in Bart's books and courses and the quality of the materials is very sub standard. He's selling himself totally short by racing through, writing as fast as he can and never looking back. We are left with the feeling that he has somewhere else to be and doesn't really have time to write this book so would you please just go to his website(s) and buy more stuff! And hurry! :)

Bart Baggett teaches you how to look at a sample of handwriting (cursive) and to begin to identify , quickly and easily, the individual personality traits that you either want to avoid, or attract, in a relationship. Handwriting Analysis is an accurate science of interpreting both positive and negative personality traits; traits that support success or failure. Examples of personality traits that you can identify in a sample of handwriting are: self-esteem, generosity, directness, talkativeness, trust, desire for attention, sarcasm, physical & sexual drives, analytical thinking, sensitivity to criticism, paranoia, pathological liar, lives in the moment, domineering, cumulative thinking, procrastination, aggressiveness, loner, fear of success, pride, and many more! Are you now beginning to see how valuable a tool Handwriting Analysis can be to the success of your relationships? Handwriting analysis can be applied to family relationships, sexual relationships, and work relationships. I have personally used Handwriting Analysis (the knowledge that I learned from reading this book) to screen future employees, business partnerships, and friendships, as well as to enhance the relationships that I already have had for years. I understand much more quickly how people might relate, and how to defuse any potential conflicts. For example, I will now know in advance that there is potential for two of my business partners to have conflict due to one person's trait of bluntness and sarcasm in relation to the other's trait of sensitivity to criticism. Now I can assist them in becoming more aware of each other's communication style so that they can better understand their interaction, and then decide to make different choices in their communication. I strongly reccomend this book, and the application of this valuable science, to those of us in life who don't simply talk to ourselves. More importantly, it is a critical tool to be used in order to avoid costly mistakes, broken hearts, and shattered expectations. Some have said that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but we all know that you can certainly learn a lot by its table of contents... Handwriting Analysis is the table of contents to YOUR personality. Now who wouldn't want to buy this book?

As an admitted non-expert in the field of finding mates through handwriting analysis, I purchased this book expecting it would help me find my perfect match. Although it does contain some very helpful information re neuro-linguistic programming, I must have missed the bit on how to convince a woman to submit a writing sample to a handwriting expert.

I'll start by saying that, as a copy editor, I had to go through this book with my red pen in hand, correcting misspellings, punctuation, and awkward syntax. Yet the content of the book remained enjoyable, even to me!

Bart Baggett knows how to have fun. His writing style is lively and full of anecdotes from his own experience, and he's able to laugh at himself. His advice about matching up one's own handwriting with that of a prospective date is practical, and the information about mirroring body language to make the person you're with feel comfortable is interesting.

Bart Baggett's first book is now out-of-print. Although about the same contents, the newer book titled Handwriting Analysis for Love, Sex, and Relationships has fewer typos, cleaned up formatting and is generally a better book. However, for purely learning handwriting analysis, this 1996 book is a far cry from his current 2009 handwriting analysis courses which are now sold in 17 countries. See Handwriting University (dot) com for his entire catalog. Like like any author, he has matured and so has the quality of his work. If you are dating, there is really no better treatise for selecting and dating than this book - priceless.

I have had the opportunity to read many books on handwriting and have studied handwriting over the years. We regularly use handwriting analysis in finding the right candidate for positions of importance in our company. Baggett's book is a quick reference guide that is refreshing and easy to use. It will surely replace some of the more widely known and older works as the " go to" source on handwriting analysis.

Educating while he entertains! Not only was the information invaluable and entertaining, it was also RIGHT!!!

My advice to anyone that buys the book is to trust what it says! I speak from experience! If the book says that the person you are dating has a bad temper and is a liar...no matter how much you believe otherwise, Bart is RIGHT!!!

Worth every penny you will save in cash and aggravation on bad dates!

Plus, he has the personal stories to back it up!

This is a fast paced funny book about how you can use handwriting analysis to boost your love life! It has a complete trait dictionary and really complement's Bart Baggett other handwriting analysis products: The Grapho-Deck Handwriting Flash Cards, the Certification Home Study Course and the Change Your Handwriting Workbook for kids and adults. Empresse can ship overnight at 1-800-398-2278. Great Read! Buy it. *see www.myhandwriting.com

Bart has a great index in his book on what writing in script says.The only thing I personally found to be unreliable is the mechanical dexterity mark. Bart is one of the top people who does handwriting analysis in the u.s. He has a top book on the subject. His identification of what things mean is on the mark.
