    This is not easy and it will take a long time
  

*by P***J on Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2015*

This book was written about 100 years ago by the creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck.  If you are not used to reading books written 100 years ago or more, you may find the reading to be very difficult, in not impossible.  Back in the day, writers had a very verbose and rambling style compared to contemporary writers.  This is especially so with books about spiritual, occult, and esoteric subject matter.Don't expect to be able to do Tarot readings immediately after you finish reading this book or any other books about the Tarot.  To successfully do readings, you must study all of the cards in the deck and know the symbolism of each.  This is not easy and it will take a long time.

    Kindle book same as the Print book in the P. C. Smith commemorative Set
  

*by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2017*

At times I prefer a digital book back up copy, to my bound version of the same book. This is one of those times. If it suits you, buy both. $3.00 is not a lot to pay for not having to worry about loss, damage or your bound book. It is also a lot easier to read/study in bed and not disturb someone else's sleep. I tried the sample. I liked it, so I purchased the e-book. If I fall asleep, the tablet turns off the light and usually restarts on the page I was on. Of course that depends up your grip. You may find yourself many pages away.

    Pictoral Key to the Tarot by Arthur E Waite
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2013*

This is likely a very important book since it was written by the creator of the Waite Tarot deck.  It may have been directed towards persons already very familiar with tarot reading.  It does picture each card in the deck and explains interrelationships and alternate explanations that went right over my head. I found the explanations ambiguous and repetitive.  I personally found Pollack's "Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom" far more helpful.  The explanations of the symbolism and detail contained on each card were better, more interesting and more thorough.
