I bought this copy again for nostalgia. I had it when I very first got my very first Thoth deck. I was 18. It was a long time ago. There were no other books short of AC, which I read but that is a huge undertaking. The Tarot cannot be grasped in isolation. You need Qabalah and Astrology to really "get it". The Mirror of the Soul is good if you want to skip all of that. But then what is the point?! After I got it again, the only reason I didn't send it back because it was only $10. I figured shipping would cost more than a $10 credit is worth. Compared to the Banzhaf (Keywords for the Crowley deck) and Duquette (Understanding the Crowley deck), it is wholly unnecessary. For those who want to do more than divination, or want to do divination on solid ground, read Duquette, read the Book of Thoth and Equinox (AC). Bhanzaf is a very useful little book to accompany simple readings while you integrate the cards into your mind-spirit. Duquette prepares you for AC. And only He can take you farther.

....Others have covered the content, in that regard...I will only say: if you don't mind "New Age" stuff (ie. each interpretation ends with 4, 1-3 sentence notes: an "Indication", a Question, a Suggestion, and an Affirmation); it can be good fun. I enjoy it... Lot's of interesting positive ideas...
....As regards the BOOK, the paper is cheap, and the illustrations are in grey and white, many so fuzzy that important detail is lost. ( of course, this is not a problem if you have your deck out while reading). The text is about 1 page per card. This is an advantage for those who like quick results.
....At the end are 7 spreads (including a relationship spread for 2 people to do together).Also a 1 page glossary of commonly occurring symbols, and 1 on finding "your personal" card. The book starts with 7-11 pages of introductory material on the use of the tarot. 3 stars because of the cheapness of the publisher: Weiser Books

The Angeles book is good but a bit too happy in its interpretations. This one is more real, less fluff.

If you use the Thoth deck, this book is a good place to start and much more accessible than Crowley's writings. Some of the interpretations are too new agey and vague -- the book's emphasis is very much on interpreting the cards in terms of psychological and spiritual development and some of them start to sound too much the same-- but I find it especially helpful in its treatment of the court cards.

After purchasing the large size Thoth deck, I knew that I needed a solid book to refer to during readings. Trust me, I checked them all out. From the original Book of Thoth to numerous other attempts to explain the deck.
I can tell you this, Gerd Ziegler has come out with the perfect companion to the Thoth deck. In fact, I carry the deck and book around together as a set.
Anyone who has Crowley's deck will probably agree with me when I say you were most likely "drawn" to this deck. It appears to have very straight forward designs but the more you use the deck, the deeper it gets.
That's why I simply love this book. Since the Thoth deck is very psychological it can be a very "personal experience" to do a reading. In fact, I usually save the Thoth deck for my own readings due to it's inherent complexity.
But, Ziegler gives a great introduction on making "friends" with the cards. Understanding the underlying truths is of great importance. He points out the obvious and sublime with ease. From advice on learning the cards' meanings, to activities that help bring the cards to life, Ziegler not only gives you the symbolic insight but he also asks probing questions that if answered honestly, will lead to a deeper understanding and relationship with the cards.
This book is really all you need to get a deeper insight into the amazing cards Crowley designed. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to further "understand" the Thoth tarot.
