I'm about three quarters of the way through at the moment. I think this book gives a fresh perspective - looking at Tarot in a slightly more 'academic' way. In fact, the author pokes a bit of fun at the "elaborate metaphysical formulae" often used in other tarot books. The writing style is not particularly engaging, but it gets the job done (again, a slightly more academic tone than some tarot books). There's some emphasis on Jung and the idea of the collective unconscious which is always interesting to me, and a chapter on synchronicity. He also brings up a lot of philosophy & some eastern religion references. In all, I think this book has a good balance of portraying the mystery & depth of Tarot while keeping it pretty practical.
