Quick impression. For a reference book on Tarot, this is very good and straightforward. Good book to look card meanings up as needed. As a learning tool, not so much as it is a pretty dry text. I own this, and I am OK having it on my shelf as a reference book, but for beginners and learners there are better selections.

Llewellyn's Complete Book of Tarot - A Comprehensive Resource -

is for you!
Written by Anthony Louis, his author has previously written other books for Llewellyn Worldwide, Ltd. about this topic.

Louis is a great estimator, passionate and of tarots reader since he was little.

Maybe he told in the book, because he studied in a catholic reality where of course this stuff was not seen very well, the little boy started to develop a big curiosity about astrology and occultism, later falling in love for tarots.

In this book Louis will tell us how we should read tarots, with a long story of tarots, born in Italy many centuries ago. A real cult for Italians. Very important families created wonderful, stunning tarots in late 1400 most of them unfortunately gone forever.

Tarots will read Louis will be the one of the common italian playing cards with the four seeds of Swords, Coins, Cups and Wands.

I was a tarot reader and I am still a passionate one although I loved to read this book also because I hadn't never learnt how to read our italian playing cards, the most common ones. I have the Egyptian tarots, the Native American tarots. Being a Sagittarius maybe that's the answer.

Maybe.

Anthony tells that some friends of him have more than 100 different kind of tarots. Wow!

Reading tarots can be more simple for some people than not for others.
What Louis says is that practicing and intuiting what the tarot wants to say to the person in front of us the first condition. We mustn't think a lot. When we have the first intuition we know that it is the one for the person in front of us.

We should be free of every strong emotion when we read tarots, Louis says and our mind open to the divination. We mustn't read tarots under stress. Tarots wouldn't speak.

What the reader should do with her/his client?

He/she must be honest with the client because of course it means also to be honest with the spirits and Superior Entity that are telling to us what it will happen to that person in the following months.

Louis has also written a special Hippocratic Oath for Tarot Readers in this sense.
Sometimes tarots can clarify and help also people in need. In real need of answers. Journaling, keeping track of what the tarots wants to say to us become fundamental. Tarots should be read two times per year and reader should always be paid because a payment means that the reader is a serious person.

An interesting section interests the zodiac signs.
And then: a long long section you will fall in love for all dedicated to the meaning of all the most important Major Arcane and common seeds.
Enjoy it, and start to read Tarots!
Oh: and Happy Journey into the Souls!

i have to admit that i was slightly disappointed by this particular book. i was hoping for a decent collective reference guide.

the up shots of this book, very good for someone who is completely new to tarot or hasn't used the cards in years. it's well organized and does have a large collection of tarot "add ins" ie: astrology, numerology, and dignities (which the latter is rare to find). interesting and also unusual is the Christian symbology found in tarot.

down side to this, too much information but not enough detail in some aspects...applying certain things to a reading like numerology or Kabbalah. also the end section of the book details each card of a deck, unfortunately it gives at least four different views of the card before getting to the meaning. for someone who is new to tarot this could be overwhelming and frustrating.

i found the writing to be a bit dry and a bit hurried in places, overall though i think it would be a good starter or newbie book as long as they don't suffer from information overload.
