Great book - well worth the money,

This review is from: The Cartomancer's Key: To Tarot, The Standard Deck, And All Other Form Of Cards (Paperback)
Yeah -- why not splurge $15 on this and save probably hundreds in getting psychics and tarot readers to do this same thing for you? This book tells how to read with tarot cards, and also playing cards; as well as a short chapter in the back suggesting ways to read with any other cards you might have. The card meanings are even arranged in nice little lists so it's easy enough to read from. It's a short book, so you don't have to be super-dedicated to get through the whole thing, and it still has all the basics your're going to need.
