Palmistry for All

Willian John Warner, better known as Cheiro, was a fantastic palm reader. In “Palmistry for All,” Cheiro discusses both the study of the lines on the palm (cheiromancy) and the study of the shape of the hands and fingers (cheirognomy). About twenty years ago, my major hobby was making palm imprints using a water-based black ink and a rubber roller that I’d purchased from an art supply store. I spent countless hours making the prints and even more looking at them. Although I’ve been more than familiar with palmistry when I picked up this book, I really enjoyed learning more about the mounts. I was specifically interested in the positive/negative signs of the mounts that are determined by date of birth (I’m Mars Negative/Moon Positive!). Even though this book was published over one hundred years ago, it is absolutely still valid as I learned quite a bit more than I didn’t know. I recommend this book to everyone and anyone who is interested in palm reading.

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

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.

I was disappointed on reading this book because it did not have the old analysis format. Some the information was helpful. I guess i should read it again maybe second time around will be better. Since I read my books on a tablet, the ebook can't access the plates, so i don't know what they are exhibiting on the plates (plate IV) and et cetera . No appendix neither in hopes of accessing the plate. There are no pictures, which I suspect are the plates.

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.

a great book but does not have pictures. I loved it but it should have pictures even on the kindle

Thanks. The book is full of illustration. *****

手相の基本知識が身に着く素晴らしい本だと思います。掌の線、丘、指等がそれぞれ関連付けられて、読み進むうちにそれらの意味が無理なく頭に入ってきました。1世紀前に書かれたとは思えません。

Cheiro is the king of palmistry and whatever he writes, goes! This book might be small but it's packed full of information that is very useful. Read every word carefully because everything in this book is important if you're serious about your study of palmistry like me.

I have read this book before and this book is the best for people who want to learn to read palm It had to be read many times to master the skill and also can be use as a reference book In fact this is only book one will need to read palm

I used to have a copy of the original hardcover, so I ordered this one as a replacement! Great book and is exactly the same as the original!
