Stuart Kaplan's "La grande encyclopédie du tarot"- what's the English title?

I got the above mentioned book by mere luck and wonder now if it is a spin-off of his 3-volume tarot book or has it nothing to do with them?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

That's a really good question. I think its "The Large Encyclopedia of the Tarot". My guess is that its an earlier edition of his now 3-volume set. Here's a little more info including year of publication and publisher.

Kaplan, S. R. (1978 ), La Grande Encyclopédie du Tarot, trad. de l'anglais, Paris, Tchou. ISBN 2-7107-0142-1

Given that you give a 1978 date, I suspect that it is only volume one The Encyclopedia of Tarot, first printing 1978, with just under 400 pages each a little shorter than standard A4 size.

Volumes 2 and 3 were written later.

Hi folks,

Thanks for your help. I have exactly found the one laurel has mentioned. So I "only" have to find volume 2 and 3, too.
