This is the best beginning tarot book I've come across. Not only does it give simple, clear meanings for each of the cards based on the symbolism of the Marseille deck (and, occasionally the Thoth deck), but it also adapts meanings based on the layout context and addresses the issue of combinations. This is the first book I've seen for beginners that is substantive, yet has an appropriate scope and sequence for beginning readers. Even advanced readers will learn from the wealth of information in this book. An excellent resource book.
