This is more of a guide than a book really since it can only be read within the Fools Dog Tarot App on a phone, but it is a full length guide nonetheless. It’s a good guide for beginners and those brushing up. It’s interpretations are pretty traditional and it uses the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. While it is fairly short, it gives a good overview of the pictorial symbolism in each card and then a brief interpretation and reversal interpretation. I found some of the interpretations too gendered at times and the descriptions of physical characteristics of who a card should represent kind of silly, but again, fairly traditional. Useful and complete.
