I have read this book and I do not like it.
Ms. Pollack covers the Major Arcana in depth, however most of her intepretations and commentary are taken in light of the Kaballah, which is the collective knowledge of Jewish mysticism and occult knowlege, secondarily, she makes many connections to Biblical images and concepts. I personally, believe that learning such systems, especially as a beginner, will lend little to your talents or understanding as a reader.
As for the Minor Arcana, Ms. Pollack's treament is uneven, and I personally question some of her interpretations. Some of the minor arcana are discussed in depth, and some are barely covered at all.
IMO - she should have produced this volume covering the Major Arcana only. And worked on a second volume which covers the Minor Arcana, as I feel that her attention to the Minor Arcana is somewhat of a work in progress.
I would only recommend this book to someone after they have been practicing the tarot with success and feel that they have the fundamental concepts down pat. As far as an adjunct to one's tarot journey, it is a fine book. And if one choses to apply the Kaballah to their interpretations of the tarot, then it is fine for that purpose as well.
Otherwise, I wholeheartedly disagree with the many people who consider this the "Classic Tarot Bible".
Good Luck!
