For anyone who wants an in-depth manual on Fortune-Telling and the divinatory arts, this is a phenomenal book. It contains a very large compendium of the occult arts.
"Fortune-telling provides hours of fascination and amusement - there are so many interesting ways of reading character, casting horoscopes, predicting the future. This book shows you how it is done: how to work out, for instance, the Rising Sign and the Ruling Planet at the time of anybody's birth, and what these symbols mean. If discovering what the stars foretell is too long or complicated a procedure, then you can read a fortune from tea leaves or playing cards. The author, in her introduction, says that even the most skeptical will not refuse an offer to read their palm. Nearly all of us have at least a sneaking belief in fortune-telling... Some main subjects covered are: Reading Your Hand; Astrology; What the Cards Say; Names and Numbers; Handwriting; Dreams and Destiny; Crystal Gazing; Dice and Dominoes; Teacup Fortunes; Bridal Luck."
The overall condition of this book is very good but does have some normal wear based on its age. The first thing I must mention is that five pages near the end of the book have some writing and underlining in pen. The rest of the pages are very clean and well-kept. The dust jacket has normal wear based on age. The book retains a tight and strong binding, with all pages holding firmly to the binding—a very nice edition with some normal reading use.
Agnes M. Miall was a well-known writer of occult literature, most active in the mid to deals later portions of the 20th century.
