The Marseille Tarot Revealed - Ben-Dov

[Papageno]

I very much love this revised edition of his original book, Tarot - The Open Reading, which I found to be elusive and counter productive.

Apparently there must have been others who felt the same way.

The new formatting is wonderful, this book is a treasure especially for neophytes, like myself.

The CBD cards by U.S. Games Sys. are also of surprisingly high quality, very nice cardstock and printing, sharp, precise , cleanly cut.
Nothing slovenly about this deck, an extremely good value and I love his reinterpretation of the Conver, it's very lovely and dignified.

I didn’t realize there were such significant differences between the two versions of the book! I thought the only difference was the Revealed version was full color.

The CBD is one of the better mass market TdMs, but I’ve really come to dislike the redone faces. They don’t retain the character that’s so evident in the originals with the changes Ben-Dov made. I ended up ordering an Yves Reynaud reproduction of the Conver to get a more authentic copy. But for the price and considering the other mass market TdM options, the CBD is a very good starting point.

I am new to this concept of tarot reading. Thank you for this resourceful information.
