This handsome hardcover book offers a gorgeous full-color gallery of nearly one hundred decks. Organized by family--historical, esoteric, artistic, cultural, and metaphysical--each deck is represented by eleven cards (in their actual size) from major and minor arcana. Artwork from the front and back of the cards showcases the stunning imagery and characteristics of each unique tarot. For decks with gold/silver foil features, an actual card is adhered to the page.
