- Tarot – The Open reading, CBD Tarot de Marseille cards and android app – review at Mary K. Greer‘s Tarot blog:
“It’s been a long time since I was really excited and intrigued by a new ‘how-to’ book on reading the Tarot. Dr. Yoav Ben-Dov’s Tarot—The Open Reading is a book I just have to share with you… You need look no further… lots of valuable insights… Additionally, Ben-Dov has created what I believe to be the most elegant restoration of the classic Conver Marseille deck available”
