The Ultimate Guide to Tarot: A Beginner's Guide to the Cards, Spreads, and Revealing the Mystery of the Tarot by Liz Dean

4.0

This is a pretty good introduction to reading tarot cards. The entire book is in full color, with large illustrations of each card, which is helpful. For every card, Dean covers the major symbols, the upright and reversed meanings, and the astrological association. For the Major Arcana, she also includes Kabbalistic correspondences, numerology, and the historical development of the images on the card. Unique to this book, Dean has created a spread for each of the Major Arcana. You probably don't need this book if you've already read other basic books—they pretty much all cover the same territory—but you may still enjoy it and/or learn something new from it. Unfortunately, it needed more proofreading: some of the errors, like mixed-up astrological associations, could confuse beginners.
