Barbara Walker's The Secrets of the Tarot: Origins, History, and Symbolism by Barbara Walker

Did not finish book. Stopped at 49%.

DNF at 50% (I made it through the introduction and major arcana).  From the very first sentence's declaration that tarot cards are precursors to playing cards, this book is full of incorrect information.  While there are citations throughout, the author attributes their own ideas to sources they don't appear in and many of the sources cited are not very good.  There is a lot of problematic generalization here, conflating different cultural contexts and incorrectly positing highly culturally specific ideas as universals.  I cannot recommend this.
