Great Resource
As someone involved in the field I found this book a very useful resource. It not only gives a quick overview of the basic principles of handwriting analysis (Chapter one) but talks about the value and importance of handwriting as a tool (chapter two). Subsequent chapters look at recent advances in handwriting analysis. Chapter three focuses on handwriting research specifically related to its use in understanding disease and disorders as well as disguise and simulation. Chapters four and five look at digital and electronic handwriting and electronic signatures respectively. The final chapter deals with the law an d science of handwriting examination.The book is easily accessible to a lay-man but also of use to student and academics in the field. It uses current literature and scientific work to support all its discussions.Well worth a read.
