this spiral bound book is great for beginners. it gives both a basic overview of what tarot is and what it can do. each card is given a keyword, brief summary, symbol meanings, and basic interruption. the back of the book gives several different spreads as case studies only.

i like the fact that it's a spiral so you can lay it flat and read if you need help with certain cards. however the type is TINY. i struggle with reading it because of that. ( )

I've been reading Tarot for a decade, and this is my favourite reference guide -- the explanations are clear and insightful, and the book is very easy to navigate as a quick-reference. ( )
