DuQuette's book Tarot of Ceremonial Magick is a good one to have in one sense. He shows all the relevant correspondences on the cards and also lists them below each card. It has many charts and diagrams that are extremely helpful, especially for a beginner.
But it falls short in explaining how to perform a successful magic ritual or evocation. It gives the nuts and bolts but doesn't include an operator's manual.
There's no substitute for personal instruction when it comes to ritual magic. Simply observing a good ritual is better than books. But if all you have are books, I'd suggest LaVey's Satanic Bible. Whatever else you might think about him, his "Book of Belial" in the SB is probably the best available for a beginner to ritual magic. Read through the section "Devices Used a Satanic Ritual." Some of the items you may want to incorporate, others you can toss out. In your case you might want to include the appropriate tarot card(s).
