Barbara Moore claimed that this was one of the "most loved" tarot books, and Benebell Wen notes in the foreword how Tarot for Your Self caused a "paradigm shift" in the development of tarot reading when it was published in 1984.  Rachel Pollack agreed, writing in her review of the anniversary edition, “Mary K. Greer's Tarot For Your Self revolutionized the world of tarot like no other book before or since. At a time when almost all tarot books were either formulas for fortune-telling or complicated occult doctrines – and virtually everyone said you must never read for yourself – Mary Greer broke open the rules by showing us how to explore the many ways we ourselves could discover meaning and the power in the cards. She did not simply ignore, or discard, what had gone before. Instead, she studied and absorbed the meanings and teachings, and then showed us how to use them for our own explorations. It is a pleasure—and a moment of great benefit to the tarot world—to see this magical book in a new edition.” 

This is an important book for any complete tarot library and the thirty-fifth anniversary edition includes a new biographical preface.
