 This deck is quite helpful for a beginner December 22, 2008

This set is great...especially if you're new to Tarot reading. I still have a lot to learn, but I think the best way to work with these is to hold each card...look at the picture...and see what meaning comes to mind for you.

The cards were fine, but it stated that it was never used, however the book binding was broken in 2 or 3 places, and the mini reference booklet was missing, and the box was crushed.

I just purchase this item and received it yesterday. The set of cards are very nice, but I feel the book is a little difficult to read. I am new to the tarot and so I thought the book would be a little more comprehensible, but I found that I would read the same paragraph twice. I think I will look for a more easier book.
 The best alternative to the original! August 25, 2008

I have around 65 decks and among all the complete RWS clones out there, this is my favourite. I was always put off by the orginal colouring and thick lines, ugly!
When I came across this and delicate, exquisite and sumptious re-colouring by Hanson-Roberts I was very delighted! I love her way of drawing and use of colour(among my other favourites are her signature deck and the Whimsical) technique. The details just pop out and sing their message. It's astounding how simple colour changes and line restructuring can totally change your experience with a deck you formerly couldn't work with.
So many books use the RWS for study and illustration, and it's been a treasure having this gorgeous deck to take out and follow along. As an alternative to the basic or original versions, this comes the most highly recommended by me!
a great deck, there are better books for beginners July 29, 2008

It took me several trials to find the "right" Rider-Waite/Pamela Colman Smith deck. The first I tried was the basic Rider Waite Tarot deck, which has clear imagery but a little bit of a "3-color" comic book look to it. The second I purchased was the "original" Rider tarot, which I gather is a facsimile reproduction of what the deck used to look like when it was originally produced - the artwork is more detailed but the colors are a bit washed out; however it comes in a nice box set with a pocket sized copy of Waite's originial Key to the Tarot.
This deck, the "Universal Waite" deck, is my personal favorite of the three. The original illustrations by Pamela Colman Smith have been retouched and recolored, so it is not the deck for "purists" but the colors are brighter and the details clearer than either of the other editions I have. This deck is available sold separately from the book; the book included in the book and deck set is the same text found in the "Original Rider" deck box set, and seemed like an unnecessary inclusion with the deck. A beginner will be better served by other books on tarot, and an expert probably already has a copy of this book. The set did include a fold-out paper "mat" describing the celtic cross spread which was rather nice and possibly useful to a beginner but overall I found myself wishing I'd just bought the deck by itself.
This is the deck featured on the cover design of "Tarot for Beginners" by Joan Bunning.
