The book features a predominantly red softcover, adorned with a large white illustration of a hand, whose lines and details are finely reproduced, evoking the theme of palmistry or the study of hand lines. The title is highlighted by white and blue typography, with a striking contrast and a graphic presentation typical of the retro or vintage style of the mid-20th century. A stylized blue silhouette also appears on the right side of the cover, accentuating the book's graphic aspect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe spine of the book is reinforced with a beige adhesive strip, a sign of an old repair, which attests to its use and age. Several signs of wear are clearly visible: blunted corners, folds on the cover, stains and scratches, as well as tears at the upper and side edges. The general patina and traces of use on the cover enhance the authenticity of this vintage copy, particularly appreciated for its retro graphic aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe image shows only the front cover and the spine, with no indication of the condition of the interior pages or the back cover. No other details are visible regarding the possible presence of illustrations, annotations, or missing pages. The format appears standard for a work from this period, but no dimensions are explicitly stated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover, marked by time, has a matte appearance, with a slightly granular and aged effect, typical of paper prints from the 1950s-60s. The entire graphic composition, with the central hand and the choice of colors, fits into a retro aesthetic, sought after by collectors of old books and vintage decorative objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed book, sold as is.
