MM Blue Mars, I think the best book out there for beginners is the How to read the Tarot book. We had a study group featuring that one and I found it very easy to read and it didn't complicate things like most other tarot books I have read. Ladybeast can get you this one at a great price too. If you want, feel free to email her at
[email protected] and she'll be able to tell you more about it.
Brightest blessings.
