description: The Art of Palmistry is a complete how-to guide to palm reading, as well as a comprehensive history of palmistry from prehistoric Indian and Gypsy traditions to the modern day. Featuring all the black-and-white illustrations of the original edition, including hand prints from such well-known figures as Salvador Dali, Carl Sandburg, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Helen Keller, Fortune in Your Hand covers how to make a map of one's own hand; different hand types; the mounts and lines of hands; the traits of a hand that suggest success, luck, or the lack thereof; fingerprints; reading the past and future; and many more fine nuances of the art. The new edition of Fortune in Your Hand is revised by the husband and son of the original author Elizabeth Daniels Squire, and based on her own notes. A bibliography and index round out this excellent standard for anyone interested in palmistry.
