The Complete Book of Fortune: A Comprehensive Survey of the Methods of Divination Past and Present

A massive and highly illustrated compendium of popular fortune-telling methods published in the inter-war period. This work serves as an encyclopaedic manual for almost every known form of divination available to the 1930s public. It includes detailed sections on astrology, palmistry, handwriting analysis (graphology), phrenology, card reading (cartomancy), and the more domestic arts of tea-leaf reading (tasseomancy), crystal gazing, and divination by dice, dominoes, and dreams. It provides a fascinating snapshot of the 'occult revival' as it applied to daily life and personal guidance.
