Hopefully this is a legitimate edition and not pirated.
It's real, not pirated! I'm ordering myself a paper copy, too.

Based on what Andy said about not putting out a print version, I was wondering whether he had authorized this one. It looks like it came from a self-publishing outlet so he must have found one that was reasonable. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it since I prefer paper books to e-books.
I would recommend Rana as a beginner's book... and where I started, and andyb's book for learning more in-depth reading. My opinion is that andyb's book is a bit much to swallow for a newbie to Lenormand. That, of course, is based on my personal experience with Lenormand.
Hmm, I have Rana's book which I've had for quite a while now and whilst it has loads of info and is beautifully put together and it certainly contains a wealth of information on Lenormand, I just cannot seem to connect with it, I am a beginner in Lenormand and Rana's book does have great info for newbies but to be honest I find it has so much in it that I get overwhelmed.. Also I struggle with relating the fox card to work, don't feel right to me.. now on the other hand having read Andybc's posts here on AT and the info on his website I really feel drawn to his approach and expertise, so my next step was to get his book and start again, not knowing too much about it I assumed it was suitable for a beginner.. Now not too sure after your post VW... I like the fact of in depth reading but I don't think I'm ready for that yet lol...
I do have Caitlin Matthews enchanted Lenormand, I don't care for the cards much but I have looked through the accompanying book and that looks really good and perhaps a good place for a beginner to start.
I think I will still get Andy's book though, I think his near and far method of reading is definitely something I want to learn
With Andy's book, I recommend you first go through all the cards and create your own journal with the main keywords for each card. Use a journal that is small enough that you can carry it around with you. Label 1-2 pages for each card. Keep your list simple: 2-3 nouns (emphasize 'near' meanings), 2 adjectives, 1-2 'far' meanings. Later you can add more keywords and sample pairs but for now, KEEP IT SIMPLE!As a beginner how do I tackle the book in order to learn the distance method. Do I first learn the cards individually or is there another way?
