Palmistry by Johnny Fincham (“Britain’s leading palmist”) provides fresh information for anyone interested in reading palms.

The subtitle is accurate: Apprentice to Pro in 24 Hours; The Easiest Palmistry Course Ever Written.

However, this book is the real deal.  The “24 hours” means 24 hours of lessons, each covered in detail in this book.  Unless you’re a fast reader (and learner) and breeze through this book (not advised), you won’t learn it all overnight.

The author’s advice is excellent.  Early into your studies, he’ll tell you to skip the things that don’t make the person unique.  That’s brilliant.

Another important feature of this book:  The author uses actual palm prints — not vague sketches that leave you wondering — so you’re always confident about your readings.

The accuracy of the readings will astonish you.  These aren’t the general comments many palmists offer, such as “You’ve faced many challenges, and some still bother you.”

Instead, the author shows things such as exactly where jealousy shows up in a person’s palm, and whether it’s severe enough to cause relationship problems.

At a glance, you’ll be able to separate introverts from adventurous people, and — from a single fingerprint — tell someone pragmatic from another who’s constantly challenged by indecision.

This book makes palmistry simple to learn, and the book is paced with humor, clear illustrations, and self-tests so you can move through the lessons with confidence.

From spirituality to sexuality, and from home to career, people’s hands reveal far more about their characters (and potential for happiness) than they realize.

If you’d like to include palmistry in your readings or professional practice, this book is a must-own.  It’s easily the best book we’ve seen in this field, and the only one we can enthusiastically recommend.

However, it’s also an ideal book for people who are simply curious, and want to understand people better.

The next time someone extends his or her hand in welcome, a quick glance may tell you everything you need to know about their passion for life and whether they’re trustworthy.

That’s a skill and knowledge that everyone can use.
