Summary: A good beginning
Comment: If you are using the Rider-Waite deck, this is a good beginning book to have. When I first reviewed this book, I'd only been studying the tarot for a few months, but Eden Gray's book gave me a remarkable amount of insight in a very short time. When I went to a local metaphysical bookstore to purchase my first tarot deck (Rider-Waite, btw), I asked the owner of the store which tarot book she recommended. She bypassed all the elaborate-looking and more expensive books she had for sale, and calmly handed Eden Gray's book to me. (I double checked after she walked away -- she had picked out the least expensive book). I think the bookstore owner's endorsement said it all. I have since read several other books, but for my readings I kept coming back to the interpretations I learned in this book. The store owner said that Gray's book would get me started, then after that, I should use my own intuition. Reading bigger and better books is great exercise for the left brain, but is that really why you are interested in the tarot?

Summary: A limited reference
Comment: This book has a very short description of each card's divinitory meaning and an even shorter description of the card reversed. This brevity is appealing to a person who wants to begin reading cards immediately, however it has the drawback of giving limited interpretations which can lead to inaccuracy in some circumstances. It also makes memorizing the meanings very difficult, since it does not tie the meaning in with the pictoral representation of the card. In its favor, at least it does mention the reversed cards, which not all references do. It also has a short glossery of the symbolism used in cards. All in all, though, for any beginner who really wants to learn the tarot, I'd say Joan Bunning's book is 10 times better than this.

Summary: Start reading the tarot immediately
Comment: I've only been studying the tarot for a few months, but Eden Gray's book gave me a remarkable amount of insight in a very short time. When I went to a local metaphysical bookstore a few months ago to purchase my tarot deck, I asked the owner of the store which tarot book she recommended. She bypassed all the elaborate-looking and more expensive books she had for sale, and calmly handed Eden Gray's book to me. (I double checked after she walked away -- she had picked out the least expensive book) I think the bookstore owner's endorsement says it all. I have since read three other books, but for my readings I keep coming back to the interpretations I learned in Eden Gray's book (plus, of course, my own intuition).
