5.0 out of 5 stars Great Review for the Morgan Greer Deck, March 3, 2007

The description for the Morgan Greer deck is excellent, especially when Ms. Estes describes the Major Arcana (about 10 paragraphs of description per card). She goes into great detail explaining the colors, symbolism and meaning that are specific for the Morgan Greer deck. However, when she describes the Minor Arcana, she devotes only 3 paragraphs per card. I would have liked her description to be as detailed for the Minor Arcana as it is for the Major Arcana. However, it is an easy read and very informative. Good book for beginners as well, as it gives a brief description of the history of Tarot, storage of the cards, etc.

If you feel a deep connection and love for the Morgan-Greer deck as I do (I wrote a review elsewhere on this site on it) then this book really is a must have. It's only 94 pages, but she really adds to your understanding of the cards. I wish the description had been longer for the minor arcana, but still there is a lot of fascinating insight to be gained by this book, such as the importance and meaning of colours within the deck on each card as well as the meanings of symbols. The book is steal in price, and if this deck is close to your soul, get it!

I own the Morgan-Greer tarot deck and it's my ultimate favorite deck, I cannot put it down. I decided to purchase this book, but I am disappointed in it. I know almost everything the book has to offer. I like that the text is big and the pictures of course, are alluring, but the content is very limited. I just feel that the author needed to add more details and content.
