I am really impressed with this book, I haven't had much chance to work with it for spreads yet, but the information it provides is exceptional for a book of spreads. I was really impressed with the section on colors & numbers of the cards - At the end it gives interpretations of all the cards upright & reversed with photos....... This is a top notch well made book I would recommend to anyone who wants all the information in one book.

The book is so helpful! It is practical,articulate and guides the reader in using the tools of tarot!It teaches about imagery and how that connects to readings. There are numerous spreads which help one make choices for the many questions that arise! There is humor and lightness in the writing yet direct and intellectual in helping the card reader access interpretation using intuition. Best book yet on Tarot Spreads. Better than peanut butter and jelly for any spread!
