A series of tips on reading the tarot based on questions and answers from an e-letter set up by the authors in 1998. They have since also opened a tarot school in American where they offer lessons and a correspoendence course. It doesn't cover thebasic card meanings and assumes a little knowledge is needed before reading this. It is more focused on how to handle the cards, how to read them and other options and ideas for using the tarot.

The book is split into the following sections: Decks, Card & Card Handling; Interpreting & Meaning; Reading Techniques; Spreads; Other Things you can do with the Tarot and Ethics with an extended Recommended Books section at the end as well as useful websites. It is laid out in small steps and tips that work well and don't overload the reader. There is something for most levels of tarot readers and I definitely took away some interesting ideas to explore further. In places I did find it a little superficial, but it was designed to be a short, affordable book so I suppose this is to be expected.

I would recommend this to someone who has done a little bit of studying and is unsure of how to put everything together. Also I would recommend it to someone who needs a refresher or a push to restart their reading. ( )
