What are some good tarot books for beginner?

[Christgal1983]

I am a beginner in tarot. I just read through the meanings of all the cards recently, not yet memorized them.

What are some good tarot books you recommend for me and why? Thanks for your recommendations!

The New Tarot Handbook by Rachel Pollack is a great place to start. An easy read, yet it contains all the basics and more!

I found Mary K. Greer's Tarot for Your Self helpful. It's a workbook that makes the cards come alive for you, and it contains a lot of information. It's a classic, and my own copy is filled with my remarks.

I've moved your thread to the Tarot and Media area. If you look through this section, there are loads of book reviews and suggestions.

Here is a great thread full of beginners suggestions....

I'd recommend Lisa Papez's Unlocking the Tarot and Joan Bunning's Big Book of Tarot. I also personally really like Elliot Adam's Fearless Tarot--but his book is card definitions, not a beginner's book, and his definitions can be very different.
