I thought I should post my favorite and most used Tarot books just in case it might inspire others.
1. Tarot Wisdom by Rachel Pollack---I like this book and find it more interesting than her first book 78 Degrees of Wisdom. They're both good but I just like this one more.
2. Tarot and the Tree of Life by Isabel Radow Kliegman.---Rather than leaning more on discussing the Majors, this book is very "meaty" on dealing with the Minors and Courts. It's very enjoyable to read, too.
3.Tarot Your Everyday Guide by Janina Renee---Very helpful and thorough on giving insight into using Tarot for advice.
4. The 2-Hour Tarot Tutor by Wilma Carroll---Not only is this very helpful for beginners, it's also entertaining to read and offers the usual Tsrot meanings and then adds a few new ones.
5. Tarot Journaling by Corrine Kenner---Very helpful ideas and exercises for keeping your Tarot journal. Lots of ideas for spicing it up and carrying on if you feel stuck.
6. Last but certainly not least is It's All in the Cards by our own tarotbear, John Mangiapane. Good for all levels of Tarot learning, this one covers lots of territory whether you're beginner or advanced and all in between.
I said "last", didn't I? But there are two more books I consider part of my Tarot library.
7. Cirlot's Dictionary of Symbols. It's just what the title says.
8. Meeting the Shadow edited by Connie Zweig and Jeremiah Abrams. This is a compilation of articles and writings by many well known psychologists and psychiatrists like Rollo May, Jung, Joseph Campbell, M. Scott Peck, Larry Dossey and many more. The subject is the shadow we all have and how it affects us and those around us. It really has nothing to do with Tarot in particular but it gives lots and lots of insight that's been helpful to me in my card studies.
