Description
An oversized 1971 hardcover edition of The Book of the Hand: An Illustrated History of Palmistry by Fred Gettings, published by The Hamlyn Publishing Group.
A fascinating exploration of palmistry through history, symbolism, folklore, and esoteric tradition, this richly illustrated volume goes far beyond simple “fortune telling” interpretations. Fred Gettings was well known for his work on mysticism, symbolism, and the occult arts, and this book reflects the depth of his research and interest in the history behind hand reading traditions across cultures.

This copy is missing its original dustwrapper, but the book itself remains an attractive and substantial volume. It contains 213 pages plus index and is generously illustrated throughout. There is a gift inscription written on the front free endpaper, and a slight upper seam split between the front endpaper and freepaper. The pages themselves are otherwise clean, secure, and free of markings.
