Overview
Perusing the table of contents:
The book is divided into six sections. Interspersed throughout the book are pages entitled "A Closer Look At [Deck Name]". They're basically one-page summaries of facts about a tarot deck, with small pictures of a few of the cards. The reproductions of the cards in this book are all black and white (greyscale). There are also occasional black and white line drawings throughout the book to accompany the text. I'll list the Closer Looks last.

3. "The Wheel of Fortune: 2005 Almanac"
This section is basically a weekly planner. Each page consists of one week and there is space for writing notes in for each day. The sign moon is in is also listed for each day, as well as the time the moon enters the sign, where applicable and the time when each moon phase is at it's height (did I say that right?). Holidays are also listed, including Jewish holidays, Mardi Gras, Kwaanzaa, etc. and some pagan celebrations, like Imbolc, Mabon, etc. (All? I'm not familiar enough with them to be able to tell.) This calendar actually includes all dates from Dec. 26, 2004 to Jan. 7, 2006. At the end of the section, is a one-page calendar of 2006.
