The Two Hour Tarot Tutor
Tarot Wisdom by Rachel Pollack
But there are tons of other books that are good.
The two I mentioned above, and especially the one by Rachel Pollack, are books that would be kind of like the essential reference kind of a permanent Tarot library.
That's exactly what I'm looking for...is a book for the "permanent Tarot library"...YES!! Thanks Grizabella!

But I would recommend you stay away from any book with "beginner" or whatnot in the title. If this is to be a book you will love and use for a long time, forego all that and go with a good source book. DuQuette's book is a an excellent primer on symbolism and other things, but the question is what you really want. Are you just beginning? Are you advanced enough to branch out into other decks or fields
This IS a book that I will cherish and keep forever...yes. What I'd really like from this book is something that helps me learn the symbolism in the Tarot for the most part. I already have a book that deals with Astrology, Numerology and the Kabalah, and for all that information to be in one book...well, I don't want information overload, but, I would like to learn more about what the symbols mean, the colors etc...having tons of keywords for each card, eh...I don't necessarily need that...but more of helping me to open myself up to the cards more maybe?
I have been doing this about a year now and am still a beginner in my eyes. I have 5 decks and one on the way, so I'm open to all types of Tarot (no Oracle...just HAD to say that tarobear!
)
