The Pictorial Key to the Tarot

$84.97

Waite's 1911 guide, made into the object it should always have been.

The text has been free for a century. That was never the problem.

The problem is that the book every tarot reader learns from has only ever existed as a cheap paperback, a scanned PDF, or a public-domain reprint set in whatever font came with the software. For the one text the whole practice is built on, that is a strange thing to have on a shelf.

So we made the other version.

Six by nine inches, two hundred and six pages, printed to order on eighty-pound coated stock and bound as a hardcover with the artwork wrapped onto the boards. Complete 1911 text, unabridged, reset from the ground up in Garamond. All seventy-eight cards reproduced in full colour, each one given a page to itself rather than crowded into a plate section at the back. Gold rule work and oxblood heads throughout, on a warm bone ground.

No dust jacket to lose. The cover is the book.

This is for the shelf you let people look at. Printed to order, which takes a few days, and shipped with tracking. Free shipping in the United States.
