If you're new to tarot, this book may be helpful. The book is mainly meanings for the creative process. For an experienced reader, a lot of the meanings are somewhat self-explanatory, however some of them were surprising. Of course, the meanings are meant more as a guide than a definitive list.
Overall, it's helpful to most, but if you are more familiar with tarot, you may want to give this book a pass.
It's perspective is somewhat unique, but overall it's not necessarily a must-have in a tarot reader's library.
