Dear Experts.
Please let know if the Great Cheiro has written any other Memoir apart from his book-Confessions of a modern Seer.Would be of much help

Regards
Raman

**Martijn (admin)** Sun Dec 04, 2011 3:27 pm

Hello Ramann,

I think the answer to your question is 'no'.
(Though Cheiro has described elements of his memoires in his other books as well)

The Palmistry Books TOP 100 has been updated again, and now it is featured with a new supplemental report for each title concerning how many copies have been sold at all Amazon portals in 2011.

I think it is interesting to notice that after 2 years... meanwhile the TOP 5 titles have always been featured in the TOP 5 rankings. And the success of those five books is also confirmed by new featured reports about the sold copies in 2011.

Also, so far there has been little discussion/feedback regarding the works of Richard Webster's 'Palm Reading for Beginnners' and Dennis Fairchild's 'Palm Reading: A little guide to life's secrets'.

Your feedback on these 2 titles is therefor very welcome!

PS. Regarding my own view on these 2 titles, I prefer to make notice of the fact that both authors are 'professional authors' - who have presented quite a few book about many other topics as well. And for this reason I would not recommend anyone to buy those books - with only one exception: just for the purpose of 'literature research'.

Hello Martijin,

I bought " Palmistry Revolution - secret key to get along successfully" by Yasuto Nishitani a Japanese writer. This book was published by Sterling Paperbacks- New Delhi in 1994 as well as published in Japan by Tachibana Shuppan Inc.

Do you have any idea about this book and its ranking.

**Martijn (admin)** Tue Jan 17, 2012 9:12 am

Hello Asif,

Sorry, I never heard about the author.

Regarding Japanese authors, I think Hachiro Asano is the only well-known hand reading author from Japan.

Martijin for sharing information with me.

Hi Asif,

Fitzherbert highly praises this book. He says "This excellent book may be the best guide to fortune-telling in modern times. While much simpler than Mrs. Robinson's book, this one describes a system very similar to hers. But Mr. Nishitani has not read Mrs. Robinson. He has worked all of this out for himself. He takes pains to make this book clear and readable. It is. The data is completely reliable, a rarity in books on predicting events. Every Palmist should have a copy." - The Palmist Companion

Lucky you to have found a copy!

Thumbs up!

The new Palmistry books TOP 100 is in progress, and Johnny Fincham's 2nd book 'Palmistry: Apprentice to Pro in 24 Hours' has become today by far the most popular book in the field... with almost 900 copies sold via the (online) Amazon networks during the past 12 months!

See: http://www.handresearch.com/book/palmistry-top-100-amazon-books.htm

Congratulations to Johnny - who is also a member of this forum!

VIII - Palmistry books TOP 100 - listed by 'Amazon Sales Rank'! - Page 4 41sTQvZFBvL._SL110_

NOTICE: The new rankings are for the first time not only the result of the current average 'Best Sellers Rank' (which represents a representative measure for the historical performance of a book), but also the result of many books have been sold at all departments of Amazon during the past 12 months.

**Martijn (admin)** Sun Aug 19, 2012 5:49 pm

... The TOP 100 update has been finished now.

NOTICE: The number of books sold for each title represents the summary of all Amazon websites around the world (while the 'best sellers rank' only represents the average number at Amazon.com).

This implicates that in the ranking the number of books sold (via all Amazon websites together) has now become the most important ranking-factor, and therefore the ranking has now become a more stable (+ sensible) measure of the popularity of the books!

**Martijn (admin)** Sun Dec 09, 2012 6:05 pm

Just spotted that we can now actually see how many books have been sold for each title during this year - by just moving the pointer at the title; Johnny Fincham's 'Palmistry: Apprentice to Pro in 24 Hours' continues to be by far the best sold title, see:
http://www.novelrank.com/user/martijnvanmensvoort?domain=com&sort=salesrank

(The above link presents the best performing titles and this link presents many of the other titles: http://www.novelrank.com/user/martijn?domain=com&sort=salesrank )

Early in 2013 I will present an update for the TOP 100 ranking.

The final 2012 update for the TOP 100 books is now avaible:
http://www.handresearch.com/book/palmistry-top-100-amazon-books.htm

One new entry inside the TOP 10 ranking: Nathaniel Altman's 'Palmistry: The Universal Guide' (which is now also the youngest title inside the TOP 10).

**Martijn (admin)** Sat Aug 10, 2013 10:11 am

I just took a look at the Amazon sale numbers available for 2013 so far, and I noticed that for the very first time 2 books of one author are in the TOP 5; Johnny Fincham's books would get ranked at no.2 and no.5.

So far Johnny Fincham's 2nd book has clearly continued to gain in popularity in 2013; during the past 3 months it has started competing with Richard Unger's book and Lori Reid's book for a TOP 5 position.

Interesting development!

PS. One can monitor the development for each title via the Novelrank charts available for each title, see for example (at the bottom one can generate a book sales chart for the past 365 days):

... Just checked whether anything has changed during the past 3 weeks, the TOP 6 ranking has not changed (Johnny Fincham's 2nd book has continued to move ahead compared to the no.4 and no.6).

PS. The positions of the numbers 6-10 has not changed since the 2012 update.

... Looks like the 2014 update for the Palmistry books TOP 100 project might result in only 3 authors to represent the TOP 5 books - though Richard Unger's 'Lifeprints' is still just ahead of Dennis Fairchild's 'Palm Reading'. so the sellings in this Christmas season will become decisive!

**Martijn (admin)** Sat Jan 02, 2016 12:12 am

The Palmistry books TOP 100 project has been updated with a new concept introducing now also for every book a trend measure based on daily sales; the new concept should also make it more easy to present a monthly update for the project, etc.:

Also, a new NovelRank-file is now available monitoring almost 200 titles:
