Though readable but scanned image quality of palm images (i.e. figures) is very poor. So if anyone   over there have this book then it will be great if u can share the scanned copy of images (i.e palm figures) for all. (Of course with due permission of admin).

Thanks for sharing.

"BookReader-1: Click here".
So click and start reading.
Hope u got it.

Dear Martijn,
                   Actually there is another book by the same author entitled " PALMASTRA". Here it is:

I don't know why cover image of "Palmastra by Gaafar" is not getting attached. I am trying again.

These books are out of print. Any idea how to get them?

Who is the publisher of this book? Once I know the publisher it becomes easier to get the book.

P.K.

Taraporewala is the publisher

I had bought this book. The author is from Egypt. What is the speciality of this book?

P.K.

Does it have anything that is not there in Benham and Cheiro ?

The approach of the Author is to compare palms with Zodiacal signs. For Aries he has posted a palm print and says Aries people have such a palm print. I do not have it and hence I did not read the full book. That is the only thing unique of this book which others do not have.

I have a book by this author by the name of "ILM- UL- KAFF, The science of hand reading by Gaafar
( famous Egyptian Palmist), which I bought from a book-fair in a stall for old and rare books. The cover and the Arabic front cover seemed very impressive so I bought it.
Some statements are unusual, like about changes in handwriting after the person is affected by some disease, on criminals, mental and physical ailments etc. but I still feel his thinking about certain things is quite outdated for the present.
Not something that you would miss, I am sure!
