Summary: A new angle on palm reading
Comment: When I picked this book up from the bookshelf in a bookshop, I was rather excited because the book had a lot of photographs and illustrations and covered areas not generally covered by other books, such as familial traits, compatibility in relationships and lines commonly found among people in various sports and professions. However, when I got home and started reading I found that in spite of the fascinating discussions on exploring one's palm to discover about oneself, I was disappointed by the lack of attention to detail for novices like myself. The basic palm shapes are not clearly presented, especially in terms of similarity and differences (I still do not know what mine is). Also different terms are often used for the same thing - the illustration on finger shapes has one finger labeled as "pointed" but is referred to as "conic" in the text. Furthermore, on closer examination some of the photos are out of focus and clearly should not have been included. On the other hand, the explanation of mounts, and major and minor lines, including variations, cannot be faulted. To sum up, this book would be useful for people who already know the basics of palm-reading (or have another book that covers this) and want to explore it further.

Summary: Good Beginners Primer
Comment: Ms. Robinson is a health and psychology reporter and has read palms for over 25 years. Her book takes you on a journey of reading your own palm and understanding all the nuances of Palmistry.
This book is probably one of the better ones I've seen for clarity and ease of understanding. The pictures are both photos and line drawings, so what may not be clear in a photo becomes clear in the line drawing. Excellent accompaniment to very clear and extremely interesting explanations of what all the lines on your hands mean. This is a how to not only about identifying the lines properly, but also a very good book on what they all mean.
There is a lot to interpretation. We all will see things that we may not agree with or don't want to admit to, but for the most part this book was on the money with my own lines and their interpretations.
Ms. Robinson's style of writing is also easy to understand. No "mumbo jumbo" here, she explains what all those "buzz words" are about, making this easily understood by just about anyone.
Well written, well illustrated and nicely presented, this book would be, in my opinion, one of the better beginner books for those, like me, who are not all that familiar with palm reading. However, now that I've been through this book, I have to say I have a much better understanding, so I figure, if it worked for me, then it works for anyone. A good book to keep around as a reference book.
