I just received this book today and put my work aside to spent the last several hours reading this re-purposed 30 week online course on the Tarot - which is how this book came into being. I must say it is really, really good! Referencing the Noblet 1650 Tarot, it also gives useful cross-reference to the later Conver and Dodal Tarot. It is scholarly but accessible, amply illustrated with black and white reproductions. A large almost coffee-table book size, nicely produced. Considering how much repetitive rubbish is published every year on the Tarot, there is very little, of any quality, available on the Marseilles Tarot in English. So I was delighted to find this book. While structured around the 22 trumps, with a chapter on each, it also includes, interspersed among those chapters, chapters on such subjects as Number, The Pips, Astrologos, Elements and Alchemy etc. For those new to the Marseille Tarot I would also recommend Alexandro Jodorowsky's Way of the Tarot. But for a deep,... More > thoughtful, readable and reliable book on Tarot de Marseilles I would highly recommend this book. Many thanks to Jean-Michel David< Less
