Description
Dive into the captivating world of Tarot with this vintage 1973 hardcover edition of The Book of Tarot by Fred Gettings. This is a highly sought-after work for its historical insights, beautiful full-color illustrations, and Gettings’ unique perspective that was ahead of its time.

While the jackets show some signs of wear and one page inside has a minor flaw (as detailed in the photos), the book itself is a solid and complete reading copy. The pages are clean, the binding is secure, and the stunning illustrations are all present, making this a perfect addition to any esoteric library or a wonderful gift for a serious Tarot student.
Fred Gettings was an acclaimed occult scholar, and his work focuses on the historical and esoteric symbolism of the Tarot, providing a deeper understanding beyond simple card meanings. This book is a true gem for anyone interested in the history and art of divination.
Please Note: Condition is as described and shown in the photographs. There are 2 dust jackets, both a little worn, and one page has minor damage. These issues are reflected in the starting price.
