Maybe a good topic to follow up on the Contradiction topic:
What books would you recommend, are an absolute must-read for pro's and palmists to be?
And also, what books would you say are not really worth it?
Also post why ofcourse! 
(I'll do my bit when I get home and got the books handy) :p

My list of recommended books is here
http://www.handanalysis.co.uk/books.htm
For beginners I would choose the modern authors Johnny Fincham, Frank Clifford, Lori Reid.
I would avoid 'Practice of Palmistry for Professional Purposes' by Comte de St Germain.

Thanks for your reply Lynn. I bought 'Encyclopedia of Palmistry' after reading your list last week.
One book I wouldn't recommend is 'Simply Palmistry' by Sasha Fenton. The book focusses on women trying to learn palm reading to see, for example, if the guy in the bar is suitable for them.
In the beginning it says, 'if I write about men's hands you can ofcourse always replace it with female hands'. Which is a bit confusing to read in my opinion, especially for beginners.
From the synopsis on amazon:
Have you every wanted to check people out in social or business situations without them even knowing that you are doing so? Sasha shows how to use palmistry, both at a distance and close up.
I'm not a professional palmist (yet :p ) but I know that is not what palmistry is about.
One book I would definately recommend is 'Palmistry, from apprentice to pro in 24 hours' by Johnny Fincham.
It's really easy to read and makes studying palmistry a lot quicker.

My 'classical' suggestion: The Benham Book of Palmistry!
The first print was presented in 1900, but it presents much more comprehensive psychology + explanations regarding the basics of Palmistry (Hand Analysis) than far most of the books published since that date.
You can order the 656 pages for just a few 'bucks'!:
http://www.amazon.com/Benham-Book-Palmistry-Scientific-Metaphysical/dp/0878771379/
PS. After studying hundreds of books in this field in detail, I say:
Wm. G. Benham's classical work is really a valuable 'must have' in my library!!!
