I'm re-reading the PKT and have been coming across numerous references to the " Manual of Cartomancy by Grand Orient, " so I went looking for it on-line. Found it here for free download:

I see it on Amazon, but there are a lot of disclaimers about damaged pages, missing pages, etc. and they want a lot of money for the bound version when it's available for free as an e-book elsewhere. I prefer print books because I don't sit at my computer ALL of the time (well . . .) In looking at it on-line, I see that Waite lifted some of his divinational meanings almost verbatim from it, so it might be interesting to have on-hand. There is also quite a bit of highly determinstic/fatalistic non-tarot divination stuff in it that appears to have historical value. (By the way, according to wiki, "Grand Orient" was often the name of a lodge, not a person.)
Does anyone have the print version, and is it as defective as I'm led to believe?
