Tarot Encyclopedia?

Anyone know of a tarot encyclopedia/bible type of book?

And I recommend it most highly :)

But it leads to the path of terminal acquisition :D

Thank you ladies!

£20/25 per volume though.....

That's a lot of tarot decks money :(

Needs must I suppose!

It does show up cheaper from time to time. On abe, for one - keep your eyes open.

And vol 1 is on amazon for £6.99. The others - well, wait it out :)

The books are massive, and i enjoy just looking at the different cards. As Gregory mentioned, the books do make me want to buy a lot of cards i never would have known about.

For something more concise, perhaps look into Bill Butler's Definitive Tarot/Dictionary of the Tarot (different editions, same book).

Butler gives an overview of different decks and divinatory meanings from various influential authors.
