The writing’s on the wall—this new entry in the extremely successful Simply™ series is the best book on the subject of graphology! It explains what handwriting analysis is and why it works and gives a brief history of the art. Then, it delves into every aspect of the way the writing moves across the page; the meaning of the pen, pencil and ink chosen; the slope of the script; the amount of space between words; the size and shape of the individual letters, and signatures. There’s even an examination of writing styles in headed paper, logos, shop signs, and other situations where the lettering has to make a good impression. Samples throughout illustrate every point in fine visual style.
I've been interested in handwriting analysis since something like the 6th grade, and was excited to see this book on the "new releases" shelf at the local public library. But the title says it all: it was too oversimplified and general for me. I do not recommend this book. I did research on this in the past and found good, detailed books; I'd love to find one like that again to reread and keep as a reference book. One interesting thing I learned from this book: I had no idea that handwriting analysis was used so much in hiring practices in England.
