Summary: A wonderful resource for Tarot enthusiasts and a great intro
Review: This comprehensive book is also the first volume of Kaplan's Encyclopedia of the Tarot. Kaplan, as the founder and owner of US Games Systems (a major distributor of Tarot cards) and a collector himself walks the reader through the history and schematics of the Tarot.
The book contains many images from Tarot decks, modern and historic, and information for neophytes to Tarot. A must have for the serious enthusiast and a great introduction for the neophyte user.
