This is a book of tarot cards in three sections, past, present and future. You chose a "card" from each section by flipping the book open and pointing to the right page or the left and reading what is written there.

You do this once for past, once for present and once for future.

This book is fine for a conversation piece, but don't let it be your only association with Tarot. The difference in the power of the messages tarot can give and the stilted conversation between the reader and these "cards" can be compared to the difference in having a heart to heart with a trusted friend or playing charades with casual acquaintences.

That is not to say this book isn't fun to have around, or as yet another book of tarot meanings to be studied. I would not give this as a first to anyone not already acquainted with tarot. But if you are a collector, this might be interesting to add to your tarot collection.
