When beginning your tarot journey, selecting the right books can significantly impact your understanding and interpretation of the cards. Look for resources that not only explain card meanings but also offer practical advice on how to perform readings. A good tarot book will cover essential topics, including various tarot spreads, the symbolism of the cards, and the historical context behind tarot reading.

This mostly true when you want to buy a book to someone who is a tarot reader or interested in reading Tarot. Many books in the market which looks great, very colorful, very well smeling, but no content. Be careful! First of all try to figure it out what is your relative/friend/whoever interested in Tarot? Wants to deeper understand the symbolism? More about Kabbala and Tarot? Histpry of Tarot? Hidden knowledge of Tarot? I could write subject in the following two hours but meaningless. In one word, know what subject you want to go deeper. Could happen that you do not need to buy a book which contains in the title 'Tarot'. Maybe you need to buy a book about astrology, or Kabbala. In the last few months I have received many books related to Tarot, many good, but many money earning addition as well, thanks God that it was not me who spent that money for those books. Any may could happen that not book which holds the solution but a course, online, video serious course. Think of this as well. Reading reviews is first and foremost. What others says about that given book. I know nowadays it is possible to buy opinion. But it is easy, when there posts which are talking about a book only in superlatives, then it is a bit suspicious.

A good Tarot book it contains the relevant information (which is elemnt, suit, meaning of suit, etc) and spread some gossip type informations as well, just hint this as side effect. Like the star card, there seven stars representing the seven main chakras, but how interesting is that EU flags has the same concept putting the stars in circle. something like that.
