About this book
The book describes the thumb as the hand's fulcrum, carrying out its owner's plans and desires through the combinations possible with the fingers. The account assigns the thumb a further meaning as a representation of its owner's will and executive power. The reading of the second phalange connects length with organising power, contrasting a long, thin shape with a short, thick one in descriptions of dealings with others.
The section on nails associates broad, flat nails with gentle, forgiving people and small, round nails with jealous, exacting people. The book interprets ridges on nails as evidence of energy and determination. The discussion of the third finger links unusual length and width with the scientist and explorer, while describing large joints as artistic.
