First I've got to say that I'm not much into spirituality/occultism stuff so palmistry was quite new to me. I had, like everyone, seen it in a movie or something, but never really read on it. That being said, this book is a good one for starter, either it's for fun or more serious research, it provides information about the different types of hands, fingers, and lines. For me it was a curious reading and I have to say that I find it more interesting that I though it would be. The only downer to it, is that hands/fingers/lines can be different in very small way and that one type is sometime close to another, so to really find which is yours and all that on your owns with no much comparison can be difficult. It's really a subject that would be better if people to compare their hands and personality to see if this is very relevant. But definitely an interesting book on that particular subject!
