Grizabella said:But I get sooooo tired of the same old Tarot history in book after book. There are tons of beginner books available so to put it into every single Tarot book ever written just gets really old and makes me want to not even buy a book when I find Tarot history in it.
Well, the argument in favour of doing that is the one I already mentioned - that many deck sets are bought by people as a first deck and they want all the "basics" in there as well as the more discoursive/specific-to-the-deck stuff. Our Tarot History section is only three pages or so, so no-one is actually paying more for the book because it's there. I assume people who've seen it a thousand times before will just skip it. Likewise I assume that many people will skip what I have to say about the generalities of doing a reading. I feel your frustration - but well, please grin and bear it for the sake of the novices.
However, as I already said, I'm not sure that Chronata will need to include all that stuff if she is not planning wide distribution and is aiming more at a specialist audience.
