" Interested in Handwriting analysis? This book will give you an excellent foundation on which to build your knowledge and get comfortable doing analysis. Great for the fledgling analyst and a wonderful resource text for the established analyst."  Elaine Charal, Master Graphoanalyst, President and Owner of Positive Strokes.

Having just finished teaching an accredited Ontario College, Introductory course in Handwriting Analysis to mostly Law and Security students, I can say that the choice of using Peter Dennis’s book, Handwriting Analysis, An Adventure in Self-discovery, as our main reference text was a resounding success. The students said they liked the book and found it easy to read and understand; and from the dogged-eared look of some of them by the end of the course – proved that they were well read. Paul Boivin, Certified Handwriting Analyst, NLP Trainer, President of Paul D. Boivin + Associates.

If you want a clear and organized introduction to this amazing subject, this is the book for you. I teach this subject and my students report that this book is easy to understand, comprehensive and a great reference that they refer to frequently.   Mary Ann Matthews, owner of handwriting.ca and Past President of the Ontario Chapter of the International Graphoanalysis Society.

Handwriting Analysis: An Adventure in  Self Discovery is, as Peter describes it, truly “an adventure in self-discovery.”  The material is a clear and concise basic course in handwriting analysis. The organization is excellent; I particularly like how each characteristic is interpreted, both in its positive and negative aspects. Too, the various worksheets provided are excellent tools that facilitate interpretation. As well, the sections on kids and the signs of dishonesty are priceless additions. A valuable addition is the section on determining emotional intelligence, an often ignored, but very important understanding of self and of others. This book is one of the several books that I keep within reach and use quite frequently when I’m when I’m doing an analysis. Len Ryan, Vice President of the Ontario Chapter of the International Graphoanalysis Society.

I can’t say enough about this book. Being very basic, it is terrific as a guide to my beginner course. It is clear and concise, and very easy for non-handwriting analysts to understand. In addition, it covers different subjects such as compatibility in relationships, children and how we can help them learn and develop, as well as learning about our emotional intelligence. Included in this book are many traits that are defined in our personality. It’s a book that I keep going back to as I attempt to learn more about the human personality. Very fascinating. Donna Browning, President of the Ontario Chapter of the International Graphoanalysis Society.  

"Here is a beautifully and clearly structured book which gives the reader insight into some aspects of handwriting analysis. It is both instructive and entertaining. For each personality trait Peter Dennis gives a positive and a negative meaning, a truly wise approach reminding us that we can use every one of our faculties either for good or for evil." Edith Leslie, Certified Graphologist

"At last - a serious look at handwriting analysis for the lay person. Clear, concise,, and packed with valuable information. A fine resource."  Ann Marie Fish, Special Education Teacher
