The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Handwriting Analysis

Publisher: Pearson Education

Edition: 2nd

2nd editionThe Complete Idiot’s Guide to Handwriting Analysis was my very first published book. It’s now out of print, replaced by Reading Between the Lines, Decoding Handwriting, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Handwriting Analysis was, for most of its 18 years in print one of the bestsellers in this series.

When I wrote this book I hesitated because of the title. But no one else was offering me a very nice advance to write whatever I wanted. Although some people did complain about the title, that didn’t stop it from being a bestseller in the series for many years. Now that it’s out of print, I rewrote it and published it with a new name.

People ask me which book to buy. Naturally, I want to promote Reading Between the Lines, and not just because I no longer get royalties from The Idiot’s Guide(!) RBtL is updated and has many new handwriting samples. RBtL, like its predecessor, is a basic course in the gestalt method of handwriting analysis. It is also an introduction to my self-study course, which you can read about here. If you have ever thought about learning how to analyze handwriting and understand yourself and others better, please take a look.

Handwriting of the Famous & Infamous

Famous & InfamousMy second book was Handwriting of the Famous & Infamous. After the success of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Handwriting Analysis in 2000, I was contacted by a publisher who asked me to write analyses of well-known people through history. The book has handwriting samples and my comments on historical figures, celebrities, politicians and convicted criminals. From Galileo to Princess Diana to Hitler. Politicians, musicians, serial killers and other fascinating characters. It’s a cool coffee table book, and more than that, Handwriting of the Famous & Infamous also offers tidbits about handwriting analysis.

There have been several iterations as it changed publishers, so the cover on Amazon may be different from this original one seen here.

Click on the pictures below to find handwriting samples written by Donald Trump in 1992. The third one is Princess Diana. The last is Ted Bundy, who was executed for serial murder. Trump’s handwriting hasn’t changed in 30, except his signature has become far more angular (aggressive). Princess Diana’s rounded handwriting points to an emotionally-based person who needed approval. Ted Bundy’s handwriting has some terrifying red flags for pathological behavior. See if you can guess where to find these characteristics in their handwriting.
