Victoria Regina Tarot by Georg Patterson, Sarah Ovenall (2002, Paperback, Illustrated)

This guide was sold with a 78-card deck of Victoria Regina Tarot Cards, hand drawn, black and white cards depicting English royalty circa 1800's. This book was reportedly discontinued in Spring 2005 and is quite hard to find. It includes: I) An Introduction: complete with the history behind tarot itself and this specific tarot deck's backstory. II) Major Arcana III) Minor Arcana The Major/Minor Arcana are equipt with an actual sized picture of the card, a brief description of the picture on the card, a general "interpretation" of the scene on the card, and a general interpretation of the card in the querent's (asker) life. IV) "Court" Cards (ie king, queen...) V) Readings: How to perform a reading, emphasis of the importance of having a question in mind, emphasis that a card can have several different meanings, positional/reversal meaning, a few basic layouts, a mock reading etc... This deck and guide are my favorite and I highly recommend them!
