The History of Occult Tarot

Does anyone have or have knowledge of a book called The History of Occult Tarot? The authors are Decker-Dummett. I didn't see it listed in the Book Review section and nothing comes up with a search.

Any opinions welcome.

I use it as a valued supplement to others when I am doing research and study. My take is that Dummett and Decker have a dry sence of irony when it comes to the past and when I come across references to an attribution to Mary Greer or Stuart Kaplan's work, for example, I seem to find an implicit respect

That's my opinion. I sometimes do not read as closely when they mentioned Dion Fortune or Gareth Knight, for example--someone may post more detail to the contrary. From what I recall, the summaries and discussion offered me a dryer, factual view on some of the historical patterns. It might only be fascinating to me, though.
