Iconic Tarot Decks by Sarah Bartlett
The History, Symbolism and Design of Over 50 Decks

Beautiful, informative, and filled with information ~ I found this book a delight to flip through and then spend time with. For someone wanting a brief introduction to a variety of historical and more current tarot decks, this was a treasure trove of information and a visual feast.

What I liked:
* The variety and number of decks shared
* The information about the decks including the history, who created them and their purposes
* That there was some information on how to use the decks for personal divinatory purposes
* Pondering what the cards might mean to me were I to use them
* The look into the history of tarot cards
* The various reasons the cards were decorated as they were
* Finding out who some of the artists of tarot cards were
* Wanting to find a few of the decks to add to my personal collection…need to write those down
* Being reminded of my thought of one day creating a personal deck of my own
* That there was not too much information to bog down the book

What I didn’t like:
* Can’t think of anything ;)

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I buy it for myself or someone else? I might

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing – White Lion for the ARC – This is my honest review.
