I learned a lot on this subject from this book. The history back ground pulls the topic together, and she refers you to other historical books. It's more then just a card game,

I was so looking forward to this work of art. I will still read it, but it makes me sad the entire book is highlighted, with, scribbles and 4 pages are missing. I will read and enjoy every page that is there, though!! Love learning about the history or Tarot. Thank you for the book.

A decent explanation of the myths behind the cards. However, if you are looking specifically for a description of the meaning of each card, you will be disappointed.

Great book for the tarot deck but the copy I received was full of pen and underlining but was described as being in better condition. Real shame you can’t leave a review for the seller!
