If you want to improve your handwriting I'd suggest picking up either a fountain pen or a japanese brush pen ("fude") - they are smoother but less forgiving, so highlight any weaknesses.
Graphology is basic cold reading pretending to be an analytical skill. The books are handy to learn some terminology, but making it up on the spot is just as effective. It feels more personal because it's allegedly based on something they've given to you, just like horoscopes.

Graphology, or the science of handwriting analysis, is something of a pseudo-science although the FBI and many other reputable agencies have employed professional graphologists in the past.
A good book to check out if you're interested in learning how this stuff works is Handwriting Analysis: Putting It To Work For You http://www.amazon.com/Handwriting-Analys...graphology
