Why I'd like to sell mine back
I bought this copy again for nostalgia. I had it when I first got my first Thoth deck. I was 18. It was a long time ago. There were no other books short of AC, which I read but that is a huge undertaking. The Tarot cannot be grasped in isolation. You need Qabalah and Astrology to really "get it". The Mirror of the Soul is good if you want to skip all of that. But then what is the point?! After I got it again, the only reason I didn't send it back because it was only $10. I figured shipping would cost more than a $10 credit is worth. Compared to the Banzhaf (Keywords for the Crowley deck) and Duquette (Understanding the Crowley deck), it is wholly unnecessary. For those who want to do more than divination, or want to do divination on solid ground, read Duquette, read the Book of Thoth and Equinox (AC). Bhanzaf is a very useful little book to accompany simple readings while you integrate the cards into your mind-spirit. Duquette prepares you for AC. And only He can take you farther.

trade paperback = quality ?
....Others have covered the content, in that regard...I will only say: if you don't mind "New Age" stuff (ie. each interpretation ends with 4, 1-3 sentence notes: an "Indication", a Question, a Suggestion, and an Affirmation); it can be good fun. I enjoy it... Lot's of interesting positive ideas...
....As regards the BOOK, the paper is cheap, and the illustrations are in black and white, many so fuzzy that important detail is lost. ( of course, this is not a problem if you have your deck out while reading). The text is about 1 page per card. This is an advantage for those who like quick results.
....At the end are 7 spreads (including a relationship spread for 2 people to do together).Also a 1 page glossary of commonly occurring symbols, and 1 on finding "your personal" card. The book starts with 7-11 pages of introductory material on the use of the tarot. 3 stars because of the cheapness of the publisher: Weiser Books

Great companion to Tarot deck
The Angeles book is good but a bit too happy in its interpretations. This one is more real, less fluff.
