I have just ordered this book. I read all the reviews and the Amazon preview pages and I think it deserves me reading it.
Shouldn't that be 16 court cards? The book doesn't seem to cover the placement of the courts on the Tree of Life, but I thought all four courts had places on the Tree.These keywords relate to the forty minor arcana and twelve court cards as they correspond to their equivalent in the map of the Tree of Life.
Wouldn't that be four honours?Each suit consists of ten numbered cards, as in the modern playing cards, but there are instead three honours: King or Knight, Queen, Prince or Emperor, Princess or Knave.
I'm not entirely certain I should trust these people or thier interpretations. Something seems not entirely right.
There are 13 endnotes for the chapter on Waite himself. And many of them appear to come from Waites' own books.Perhaps not, but the book is still important in terms of exploring Waite's work in a scholarly fashion. I wonder, are citations provided for students who would wish to go beyond this book? Do they back up their claims with Waite source material?

I think they were in a hurry to get this book out. Very badly designed and edited.
I also wish they had used footnotes instead of endnotes as having to thumb through to the back of the book to see what the endnote said broke the flow of reading the text. Once I read the endnote then I had to find where I'd left off on the page before searching for the endnote!There are many endnotes, I'll give them that. But the downside is they're endnotes rather than footnotes, which would be a lot easier to use as you're reading the text.
