📚 ABOUT THE BOOK

James Coates published 'How to Thought-Read' in 1911, detailing psychic phenomena and mind reading.

This 1911 manual by James Coates instructs readers on the practices and understanding of psychic phenomena. It covers hypnotic and mesmeric states, as well as mind and muscle reading techniques. The book also addresses thought transfer and other psychic abilities, framing them within the context of daily life. Coates presents these subjects as accessible to the average person, aiming to demystify what was then considered strange or mystic. The text is structured as a guide, intended to help individuals develop or recognize these latent mental capacities.

Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Still worth having on the shelf.

Worth every penny

Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. A keeper.
