Palmistry for All Paperback – January 20, 2013

I purchased my first copy which came with a red cover in 1980. It was a great read and used as a reference book for many years until it was sold along with my first book collection. This new copy came with a white cover and larger print. The content of my new copy is the same as my first with many fine drawings of the palm with all of its lines. Buy this new white cover copy. It will not disappoint you.

I have always found palmistry interesting, so I gathered several sources. This is a good one, but it is not made for entertainment. More for education.

I am very much enjoying the book. My family does do palmistry and my mom is teaching me and this is a great tool, a lot of detail. So I’m happy with that. This person is definitely from an age and time that is OK with prejudice of class. So they seem to want to promote moving beyond that and believe palmistry can help. Still, it can be a difficult read at times because of that difference in mindset, if you will. But beyond that analytically, it’s very detailed. However, there is a downside that there are a lot of references to images. He references plates as illustrations of points. He’s trying to make yet none of them are printed in the book so that is unfortunate. I’m forced to have to look at other different references to try to gain some insight there.

There's good info inside its just a little hard to follow I imagine due to the time frame of it's inception. I have encountered some understanding after reading several parts. The link was evident after thoroughly reading each part.I thought I could maybe flip through to gain some insight but... Guess I'm not that smart🤓

The book was interesting and well written as I love palm reading. It went well until I found out that all the plates, diagrams and pictures were missing. A palmistry book without sample prints of palms are of no use. Reading about the lines and mounts on the palm for examples of which the plates were omitted left me wondering whether anybody checked or edited the book before publication. I would have rated this e-book 5 stars had all the plates and diagrams been correctly included.

When I first started reading this book the author was upbeat and positive and then as the pages went on I saw a very critical, blunt individual that did not have very flexible thinking. Some of the things this Cheiro said were just so cold. At one point he stated that if the sun line was on it's own mount with not connection to any line, that success would come so late in life it wouldn't even be worth having. REALLY? Well that positive and cheery! Another instant he stated that Even if you had the the best sun line if you had a hollow hand it wouldn't do you any good! His exact words were "On a hollow hand, the line of Sun loses all power and it's promises are never fulfilled" REALLY? So every one with a "hollow hand" your life will be crap! There were many more digs and cruel criticism else wear. Also there were things he stated that were just not true, things he said that should be a certain way in my life that just weren't. But in all fairness I will say that he did clear some things up for me like the Double head line and his scientific explanation of palmistry is spot on. The book wasn't all bad but his cold doom and gloom view of people with difficult hands don't fly with me. Out dated thinking. Oh and the missing "plates" was irritating also. But I guess you get what you pay for and payed nothing so I got just about that!

A very wise man wrote this. it's an interesting read and a basic 101 if you want to get into more of this type of trade.

The layout of the book is clear and full of explanations but I could not down load the diagrams referred to in the book.
