I recently had to have surgery on my thumb after a car accident. My hand was in a cast for six weeks and I needed physical therapy before my thumb and hand were of much use. This got me interested in hands and how they work, especially the thumb. I learned a lot reading this book. I will never take my thumbs for granted, again.

A wonderful addition to any one with an interest in hands or palmistry, academic or amateur, the artistic aspect was also interesting

Super book - THANKS!

This book was a great read. It has a wide variety of applications (law enforcement, anthropology, medical etc) and is suitable for even a novice reader.

On the hand, I purchased my book "new" from Amazon. I received a book with a dog-earred page and highlighting. Because I needed this book for a college assignment, I could not just send it back. Afterwards, I found another person interested in my marked up book and bought another for myself (to keep for later reading/reference).

I've recently purchased yet another item from Amazon that was used and is being sold as new. I called their support (well they call you after you request a call) and complained. I ended up getting a refund (only for items under $40 they say) and didn't have to return my item.

Got it because of his comments on the uniqueness of fingerprints. Don't care for his views on evolution.
I read this book after Bret Victor's allusion to it in his rant against Microsoft's vision of touch screens [...] ). The book does challenge one's estimate of "hand", its design (and the Designer). As I am waiting for carpal tunnel syndrome diagnostics for my right hand, I wish we can come up with better interfaces than mouse, keyboard and touch screens.
