National Handwriting Week Jan 23-29 features handwriting expert's new book, THE HAND BEHIND THE WORD

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 24, 2005 --

"Even a string of numbers on an otherwise empty page tells a fairly interesting tale about its writer," says handwriting expert Jerral Sapienza and author of "THE HAND BEHIND THE WORD." "The ten digits are a microcosm of our handwriting. Each digit has its own message and story. So a series of several numbers arranged on a small page can tell a whole series of tales about intent, personality, emotion and method. Dating takes on a whole new scenario: Next time someone scribbles a phone number for you, you'll be able to know more about what that person is like-- before you make that call."

Radio Producers and Talk Show Hosts around the U.S. and as far away as England, India and Australia have been fascinated with Sapienza's quick analysis of their writing from abbreviated quick samples faxed during the show.

THE HAND BEHIND THE WORD is chock-full of fascinating tidbits about handwriting and its history, uses, and interpretation. It introduces Sapienza's "JAQS Style Format" familiar to online handwriting enthusiasts as the standard submission format for the Web's Original Handwriting Site, WWW.HWA.ORG. The perfect format even for beginners, the JAQS Sample is featured in THE HAND
BEHIND THE WORD as a compact yet remarkably complete personality profile.

"THE HAND BEHIND THE WORD: HANDWRITING ANALYSIS JAQS STYLE" (LLX Press, $16.95, 256 pgs) chapters include "Saints and Criminals", "Change Your Handwriting, Change Your Life", "Personal Relations and Compatibility Studies", "Handwriting Analysis for People Managers", "Ethics and Values", "Symbology and Archetypes" and several
others.

Filled with hundreds of illustations and examples, THE HAND BEHIND THE WORD is accessible, easy reading for beginners or experienced handwriting analysts alike. Its message appeals to the curious people-person in all of us, inviting family and friends to gather together sharing curiosity and discovery. Expect to hear about it around a kitchen table, break room or water cooler near you soon.

National Handwriting Week is a great time to begin your study of handwriting with "THE HAND BEHIND THE WORD." But don't expect it to stop there. You'll keep coming back again and again to peer into this book like a crystal ball with new questions the more and more handwriting you see, the more and more you learn.
