Black Hart's book is great. He achieved his goal of making it short and sweet without overlooking anything. Zero filler. A Marseilles Tarot is included. The verbiage used on the book is specific to this Tarot but can easily be applied to others that have the traditional build.

I have never seen Card Shark's in person, nor do I use the Tarot in a paid setting so take this for what it's worth but I believe that there's something to be said for a simple design that has pictures/art for the Major but only the pips and simple border work for the Minor.

Cardshark's cards are excellent quality and well worth the money. Black Hart's Tarot method is also a steal at the price as it strips everything down to the basics making it easy to learn and then you can add your own embellishments as you get more familiar with the whole idea.
