The book is made richer by the use of real life examples. The author guides you through each handwriting sample and teaches you how perform a mini-analysis based on certain common traits. The handwriting samples range from the humorous to the extremely blunt (Parking Lot Rage). You'll learn the basics of Stroke Direction, Global/Universal Traits and the myriad of information you can glean just from the letter "T."
I recommend the book as an entertaining and educational read.
I found Mr. Batchelder's presentation through example to be both instructional and entertaining. As a student of handwriting analysis I found that I absorbed the principles without even trying. Mike Goodman, Bike Shop Owner, Atlanta, Georgia
This is an ideal book for the novice in handwriting analysis. The chapter titles are clever and grabs attention. The traits in bold type makes it easy to identify in the appendices. The book is fun to read and easy to follow. Most importantly, it is accurate. Elois S. Barrett, C.G.A. Certified Graphoanalyst (1973, Columbia, South Carolina
