Why read it?
1 author picked The Complete Illustrated Guide to Tarot as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I like many of Rachel Pollack's books, but this was one of the first tarot books I read. This kind of book is perfect for me to learn something. It reads very easily, more like a course than a book with pages full of text. The layout is light and each page is richly illustrated with colour photos including tarot cards from all over the world, so you can compare and get a good idea of the character of each card.
All facets of tarot, which you can delve into later, are discussed: origin, history & the different traditions, symbols…
From Vanessa's list on tarot and its many facets.
