Tarot Classic by Stuart R. Kaplan (Occult, Divination, Games, 1972, tarot classic, tarot guide, Stuart R Kaplan, US Games, tarot divination)

This book is a guide to the "Tarot Classic" deck, a reproduction of a traditional woodcut tarot based on the designs of Claude Burdel (1751). It explains the cards and how to use them for divination.

Review:
A foundational text by a giant in the tarot world. While sometimes seen as less beginner-friendly than other guides, it's respected for its direct approach and connection to the classic European decks.

Author summary:
Stuart R. Kaplan (1932-2021) was an author and publisher who founded U.S. Games Systems, Inc. He was almost single-handedly responsible for the popularization of tarot in North America, most famously by publishing the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. He wrote several definitive books on tarot.

The value is moderate, though lowered by the poor condition. Historical Interest: It's written by Stuart R. Kaplan, founder of U.S. Games Systems, a hugely important figure in tarot history. Rarity: The book itself is not rare, but it's a classic from a key period.
