Palmistry: From Apprentice to Pro in 24 Hours Paperback – Illustrated, August 24, 2007

It doesn't matter whether you are a beginner, a curios, a PUA or professional. This book gives an excellent idea of what palm reading is all about. The most important aspect of this book is it's no-nonsense approach, avoiding the Victorian mysticism and mumbo-jumbo nonsense that has plagued this topic for the last few hundred years, leaving you with a purified extract of what it all means. As such, I enjoyed every chapter and every minute with this book and it was directly applicable. As a scientist also in genetics and inherited traits, this book help open new paths to a still quite uncharted territory, at least scientifically.The only downside are some grammatical errors and some erroneous/confusing titles/captions on some of the included photos. An updated edition, with improved quality photos would work wonders. Some more references could also prove useful.

I have bought this book multiple times (a physical copy, for Sony, and now, for Kindle). I was skeptical when I bought it, but thought it might be interesting. It definitely was. This isn't going to tell you how to read someone's future, or figure out how many children they have.But, in my experience, every time I have read someone's palm, and I have read a fair share, using only this book as my reference, I have pretty much always had them say it was amazing how accurate it was. I personally agree VERY much with what my palm is supposed to say about me, as a case in point.I have had my palm read 2-3 times by other people at a variety of locations, and so far, none of them has ever said anything that I felt was even remotely in the ballpark, and most the times were likely just trying to "read" me, based on my mannerisms, appearance, etc. That is not what this book is about either.It is also very clearly written, with good illustrations to clarify all of it's points, or lines of thought (yes, I just did that;).

Good book. Easy to read and follow the info given. I like that this book doesn't tie astrology to palm reading. It's just palm reading basics, with some new names and ways of looking at the lines, fingers, etc.

This book is well written, clear and concise. It contains a wealth of information but doesn't get lost down the rabbit holes of detail. It's organized and each chapter's information is based on the previous. Heed this author's advice however in taking a measured pace. There is so much you can miss if you rush through this book. In fact, I've had it for a couple months now and have not yet finished it, so eager am I to understand the significance of the multi-faceted approach. It's just plain awesome.

I did enjoy this book. He gives a common sense method to reading hands and helps you break it down into ez to digest bites. He renames the fingers (does not use the traditional Jupiter, Saturn etc.), which takes about three minutes to get used to. I could see why he did it.He does give good advice on how to tell if fingers are really longer etc.Use this book with Richard Unger and Ronelle Coburn's books and you will be well on your way!

It's not really what it claims. You can be an amateur in 24 hours from this book, but to be a pro you have to study more in depth you find in study from "The Benham Book of Palmistry: The Essential Work" by William G. Benham. I sent a copy of this one by accident to my niece thinking it was "The Benham Book of Palmistry: The Essential Work" and discovered that it was actually kind of disappointing, so in reality, I bought two of this book in error. One I cannot return because it was for my niece, and the other I use as a quick reference, which it is good for. I don't recommend it for those wanting to become a pro.

I'm a palmistry buff since i was in my thirties. I have a collection of palmistry books from different authors. This one is simple to understand. If you are looking for new stuff though, this is not for you.I wanted to buy the book for my collection but an error in my ordering process made me order the E-book for my kindle instead.

It plays on your more gullible emotions from time to time, but overall, it's great fun. It embarrassing, but aside from just being curious, I was looking also for something to, you know, impress people off the cuff, which this book helps you do, to an extent. Also, while some parts may be a tad 'too much' and even borderline stereotyping, there really might just be something to other parts.
