How to Tell Fortunes has just been released to Distributed Proofreaders so that volunteers can help produce a new electronic edition. The book is another of Frank Tousey‘s inexpensive instructional manuals from the late 19th/early 20th century, published as the Ten Cent Hand Books series. As the title suggests, this one includes tables and suggestions that it claims will help predict the future.

Whether or not the authors of the book ever predicted that it would one day be freely available on the Internet, you can help make that future a reality by reading about how the process works and then joining in at the project page.
