Local notes

A very small Collins Gem book, but packed with information. I quibble with the order of the cards laid out in this version of the Celtic Cross spread, but generally a good source of information, and with lots of alternative layouts, and supportive information on reading the cards. The cards are illustrated with one of the older European decks, which have a number of pips illustrated instead of an archetypal picture.
