Question by Ashley R: What is a good tarot card book?
I want to learn the history and meaning of the cards. What I don’t want is to learn all the divination that people use them for. Maybe a history of divination but not divination itself.
I don’t want a fortune telling book. I want more of a history book.

I understand that you’re looking for a book, however I can recommend a couple of excellent websites which include Tarot History:
