To begin with, I knew virtually nothing about Graphology, prior to this book. And I can securely begin by saying that this book is an applied and pleasurable primer to handwriting analysis that will leave readers intrigued and eager to learn more. This is an engaging and accessible introduction to the fascinating world of graphology. Premeditated for novices such as yours truly, the book deciphers the A to Z of construing calligraphy. The book provides readers with an everyday groundwork to investigate writing styles and uncover personality traits. The tome is structured in an unblemished, commonsense manner, guiding readers from the basics of handwriting analysis to more advanced concepts. It covers topics such as identifying key handwriting features (slant, size, pressure, etc.), understanding their psychological repercussions, and distinguishing signs of expressive states, interactive tendencies, and even potential red flags in handwriting. True to its title, the book is written in a frank, informal panache that avoids technical gobbledygook, making it easy for anyone to follow along. This book excels at breaking down complex concepts into humble, edible parts. Even readers with no prior information of graphology can rapidly grasp the basics. Furthermore, the book embraces common samples, illustrations, and exercises that allow readers to practice their skills. These hands-on activities reinforce learning and build confidence. And while aimed at apprentices like me, this book does not shy away from deliberating nuanced topics, such as the psychological origin of handwriting and the principled thoughts of analyzing someone’s writing. The author affords everyday acumens, into how handwriting analysis can be used in various fields, such as recruitment, relationships, and personal growth. This book, to conclude, is a valuable resource for anyone curious about graphology. It strikes a balance between being informative and entertaining, making it an excellent starting point for hobbyists, students, and professionals alike. While it may not satisfy those looking for a painstaking, technical examination, it delivers truly what it promises—a forthright, beginner-friendly guardian to understanding handwriting. Give it a go.

This is the Digest Version, with only 91 pages, not the full 377 p. edition. Digest Version is unavailable to choose, and I do not yet know how to 'add' to the website list of books.

This book was a gift. I guess they were trying to tell me something.

It's pretty entertaining though, especially the samples of handwriting by celebrities and well-known personages (Hitler, James Earl Ray, Beethoven, Elmore Leonard, etc).

The book inspired me to save some handwriting samples from letters people had sent me at work. I ended up throwing them away, though, because it seems a little creepy and I have too much crap anyway.

Who knew? Apparently many people knew that handwriting analysis is used in applicant selection from your local business to law enforcement.

A fascinating look at the basics of handwriting analysis including samples of the famous and infamous and five warning signs that you could be dealing with someone with serious issues.

I've been interested in the concepts of graphology for several years, but have never gotten into it till now. This book was informative and easy to follow. Of course, it's impossible not to try and analyze your own handwriting. Hah hah. I tried though I suppose a critic would say I'm be biased.

I expected a bit more, and will probably consider buying another book on the subject. But it's still good.

Some interesting things but a lot to remember and when I compared my handwriting to the analyses in this book, it didn't make sense.
