I have two books -
Learning the tarot by Joan Bunning. This is supposed to be an "easy to learn" guide to the Tarot. You start out learning the Major Arcana, but that seems to be how many books are organized. The book is all black and white, so it's not the prettiest book compared to others.
And
The Ultimate Guide to the Rider Waite Tarot by Johannes Fiebig and Evelin Burger. I found this book much more useful, especially since I wanted to start out with the Raider Waite cards. Each card has about two pages of information, which is summarized into mini paragraphs, such as "Basic Meaning", and the "10 Most Important Symbols", which refer to the meaning of individual aspects of the card (such as the background color or each of the things depicted on the card). I like this one the best.
They are both available on Amazon.
If you find any books that you really like, I'd love to hear about them
