Madam Le Marchand’s Fortune Teller & Dreamer’s Dictionary

What we love:
Originally published in 1863, The Fortune Teller and Dreamer's Dictionary by Madame Le Marchand is a little gem of a book by a celebrated Parisian fortune teller and a whole lot of campy fun! Learn to tell fortunes using dice or ordinary playing cards, read tea leaves, egg whites and coffee grounds, interpret dreams, make charms, read palms, and much, much more! Mileage may vary...for entertainment purposes only!

The contents include the "Lady's Love Oracle," as well as the "Art of discovering Truth from Falsehood, Augury of the Flower, Charms and Ceremonies, and How to tell fortunes by Moles." There are also instructions for telling a person's character by assigning numerical values to the letters in his or her name, adding the numbers, and referring to the number in the book's chart. Filled with diagrams and illustrations to supplement and clarify the written text, this is a reissue of a rare and unusual Civil War-era book.
