Palmistry, Hand Analysis - Recommended Books

Some of these hand reading books are now out of print, but they form the basis for modern palmistry ideas, so are well worth a look if you can get hold of them. You could try libraries, inter-library loan, or you may be able to purchase them second-hand. Modern books (and some old ones) can be purchased at reasonable price from Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com. Click on the links below, or use the search facility at the bottom of the page - they have hundreds more books than I have listed. Abe's bookshop is also a very good source www.abebooks.com
