Summary: Comprehensive, but difficult for beginners
Review: I have a few books on Palmistry, including the classic Cheiro's The Language of the Hands, The Art of hand Reading, and so on and so on. But to be frankly honest with you, none of those books compare to the excellent recourse of information given in this so called "Idiot's guide."There is an excellent section on interpreting the phalanges, which buy itself is an art all it's own. Plus everything else is discussed in the book. The mounts, the lines, skin texture, hand shape, and it goes on and on. This book was my first Idiot's Guide, that I have purchased, and the last book on Palmistry. Being that it was such a well written and easy to understand book, I became obsessed with all things Idiot's Guides. But trust me, an idiot's guide this is not. A Wealth of information. Excellent for the beginners as well as the advanced, there is something to learn for every one.

Summary: A good starting place....
Review: I have this book. This is my first palmistry book I bought as well. But about the 7 classifications of hands is extremely limited. Because I've read that Stanislas D'Arpentigny, the one who formulated that 7 hand classification system, only did just that, only the 7 hands, and not ALL the hands. Like for example, the hands of women, were not observed for that system, because the hands of women are a whole other classification system. Otherwise, I found the book ok. I recommend- Palmistry Encyclopedia - by Rhoda , which I think is the best palmistry book out, which i'm gonna buy soon :)

Summary: Not really for idiots
Review: Robin Gile has presented an excellent introduction to the art of palmistry, well laid out and very informative. It has many very good illustrations. It also has sound information for the professionals. His work on the fingers is some of the best I have read and I have about 150 books on the subject. The lesson plans are well laid out. I have a few professional disagreements over nomenclature, but these do not detract from the information to be gleaned from the work. Any good library on Palmistry must include this work.

Review: This book is wonderfully written and illustrated, but tends to give you too much information at once. I have read several other book on chiromancy (palm reading) that break down this divinational practice to the lowest common denominator! Highly recommended for someone whom already has a good grasp on this practice.....may be a bit too much for the newbie! Well written (I'm a BIG "complete idiot's guide" fan!!!) and researched. Overall, very good! Recommended with reservation!
