Reviews

"This book is a great encyclopedia for a beginner, listing the cards in order of their number (major arcana) and then suit and number (minor arcana), delivering the same information in each in a standard format that makes all of the information, and each part of the breakdown, easy to find. It's also a fantastic book for more experienced practitioners... Highly recommend." --Shiri Weinbaum Sondheimer, holiday list
