The only really annoying thing about this (and many other palmistry books) is that they don't use good examples and the don't explain what things like "well developed" mean in regards to fingers, mounds and other features.

A Great Overview of Palmistry for Beginners!
4.5 stars rounded up!
I've admittedly not read that many palmistry books (about 4 or so), but all were geared towards beginners, and out of all them, by far this was the most in-depth and comprehensive. This book was very helpful and informative and gave a lot of additional AND background information for more in-depth readings that I couldn't get from other books. And although it does suffer a lot from what other palmistry books do (not enough sufficient illustrations to show the type of novel lines they're talking about), it's by far the book that offers more illustrations than the others I've read.
I love how the book is sectioned out by its chapters; it's organized VERY well and comprehensively in a very approachable way. I enjoyed reading it so much to the point where I would get addicted and put aside all my other responsibilities to read it until the early morning, oops lol.
I think the biggest selling point for me though, and the reason I'm giving it 5 stars despite its flaws, is that this is the ONLY book/resource I've found (from my perusal of lots of palmistry googling online and from skimming palmistry YouTube) that ACTUALLY gives you a guide/definition for what things like "well defined" means!!! Like, how are you supposed to know whether a mount (the squishy fleshy part of your palms) is "well defined" or not when you've probably only seen your own hands, and when it's likely your mounts are pretty much the same as each other?! It also is the ONLY book I've seen with instructions on how to actually MEASURE and LOOK at your hands when you're analyzing them (for example, you're supposed to keep your hands and palms relaxed as if they were falling by your side if you want to analyze things like width between fingers), something I've NEVER seen anywhere else and which has driven me CRAZY!!! (As another example, when examining said mounts for fleshiness or not, you're supposed to cup your hands SLIGHTLY and then look at them from eye level, as if they were a mountain plain right in front of your eyes.)
The book still doesn't illustrate every single thing it should (for example, it only sometimes shows you what a "long" line looks like, which I think is dumb because we should always have illustrations to show us what "long"/"short" look like in comparison to the "average"), but it explains and illustrates so much that other books and resources miss that right now it's my #1 recommended introduction to palmistry. Also unlike other books I've seen, it features a nice glossary AND index at the end, AND additional resources (books and websites) to read and learn from!! :)))
Like I've said, it's been driving me CRAZY not knowing things like how to measure the lines/how I should hold them when reading, and this book finally provided me some relief in the extremely frustrating world of learning palmistry, for which I am very very grateful lol. Thank you, Katina Z. Jones!!!!

Most palmistry books are hard to figure out on your own, since lines are vague. But like most palmistry books, it has some interesting aspects, but a lot of parts that can only be figured out if your lines are interpreted for you by a professional. For example, on page 195 - Shyness: If you have a short mercury finger, you may b part of the 12-18% of the population who are shy.

Informative
I liked the drawings in black and white because they help me to clearly see the lines. The only thing better would be a personal reading of my specific palm.
