About the book

Andrea McNichol wrote this book more or less like a course in handwriting analysis. Her writing style allows you to experience handwriting interpretations including the "why's". This book is fantastic for those who want to learn this exciting field. Although in no way complete, it will provide a great foundation for further studies. I highly recommend this book.
