This book is easily, hands down, my all time favorite book on Tarot, and that's saying something considering I have an enormous collection of books and decks. I've been reading the cards for a number of years - and I still had plenty of "Aha!" moments when working my way through this book. It brought in an entirely new and completely fresh perspective that has helped me take my understanding of how the cards interact within a reading to a whole new level.
I love the fact that the book is an easy and enjoyable read, it feels very conversational and isn't overly dry or academic. There are plenty of illustrations, diagrams, and examples within the book demonstrating the techniques used, exercises, and even "homework" at the end of each chapter to help you put into practice what you learned.
It's an excellent resource for anyone looking to grow their knowledge of how to weave a story from the cards and how to extract every little last drop of pertinent information from the cards in a spread - this will take your readings from "Good" to "Wow!" with clients. She also has a really interesting and useful Yes/No spread in the book that involves six cards, yet is very simple and easy to utilize.
There are chapters with games and exercises, information on interacting with your querent, and even the "language" of Tarot and how best to convey information to your querent.
Though there is an appendix of basic card meanings in the book, I wouldn't say this book is for complete and total Tarot beginners - I think to get the most out of it you need at least a basic grasp of the meanings of the cards. If you have at least that aspect of Tarot under your belt, I do think this book could help you increase your skill by leaps and bounds at a pretty quick pace.
Highly recommended!

It is revolutionizing my relationship to the tarot itself, to my clients and even in my own person relation to the archetypes.
It is not a descriptive book (doesn't give you each meaning of the cards or the possible interactions between them) but it guides you through the process of relating the cards to one another and to each specific situation.
It's also not a long, tiring book, it's straight to the point, easy and quick to read (good for beginners and more experienced readers).
So yeah, don't waste anymore time, just buy this book and see for yourself!!
I've been a professional reader for 6 years and I wish I'd read it sooner.
I even bought the Robin Wood Tarot (wich is the one she uses for the exemples in the book) - it was already in my wishlist.
The shipping to Brazil was quick too, just a few days.
