Extremely disappointed
I bought this book because it was one of the few available for beginning to read Kipper, but unfortunately, it was NOT the best choice. While I respect that Mr. Musruck is not a native English speaker, the grammar and sentence structure of the book is terrible; it does not appear to have been edited at all. It is bad enough to be a serious distraction from the text, and there are passages that don't make any sense at all.Likewise, while the information might be good (I am still in the process of researching Kipper, and a beginner reader), there is not nearly enough of it, and the author's tone throughout the book is rather annoyingly preachy. For instance, he repeatedly tells the reader not to "Tarotize" the Kipper cards; they are, he says, different systems. All right... but then, how? Clearly they are different, but what does is it even mean, don't "Tarotize" Kipper cards? Go strictly by the given interpretation of the cards, and don't rely on your own intuitive reactions to the images, as often urged in Tarot? Don't use Tarot spreads? For that matter, what spread do I use for Kipper cards? Despite extensive relational interpretations of the cards, the author completely fails to even discuss the basics someone new to Kipper would need, and would be expected in a book for beginners, as he claims this is: such as, say, "to read Kipper, lay X number of cards out in X number of rows, with X number of cards in each row."Unfortunately, this book basically reads as something extremely rushed to production, and intended more to make Mr. Musruck money and try to pad his reputation than to actually teach Kipper. I'm afraid I can't recommend this one, and will be selling or donating my copy the minute I locate another. The only good point - and the reason for two stars instead of one - is that, if all you want is a fast reference for card meanings, already know Kipper, and don't actually intend to READ the book, it will serve you fine.

PERFECT! JUST WHAT I NEEDED
Iβm so thankful for this book.If you need to know what the cards mean when placed next to /top of/below each other . It is perfect for this . This book is exactly what you need in this aspect . Without the book when first learning., you can be so thrown off trying to figure out what they mean.Absolutely recommend this book for this purpose.This is basically what is shown in the book.Card and placement meanings.

An English Guide to Kipper
This is a very helpful guide and much-needed in the English language. The only one I could find, in fact. Obviously Mr. Musruck's English is not perfect and the book was not edited by a translator. This is both good and bad. Bad because on a very few occasions, there is a passage that doesn't quite make sense. Good because it is really cute and interesting to see some of the unique turns of phrase that come about. I love the author's viewpoints and energy that come through this book and I look forward to connecting with him through his social media.

Very detailed and easy to understand.
This book has lots of information about individual card meanings and it's meanings in relation to the cards around it. If you don't understand how to do a Grand Tableau, Boxing, Knighting etc than there are details about that too. This book is easy to read, easy to understand.

The only comprehensive book on Kipper Karten that I could find in English. Extensively cross-referenced.
Intelligently and thoughtfully written. I really like the extensive cross referencing between all the cards according to their placements.This writer is not a native English speaker, so there are occasional grammatical errors here and there, but they don't interfere with the good information provided. This is the only comprehensive book on the Kipper card system in the English language that I could find, so it's definitely worth getting, if you are interested in mastering Kipper Karten.

Good Resource for the Kipper Beginner
This is a very good resource on Kipper. It is obviously self-published, therefore not editied. However, the information gleaned is not diminished by poor grammar.I am grateful to Mr. Musruck for taking the time and love to write such an extensive book on a subject that few have written on.

A gem of a book which includes full comprehensive card correspondences
Fantastic! This is a gem of a book as the writer gives all the interpreted card correspondences not usually given and allows a quicker understanding of card reading. I found Kipper through the discovery of the book The giant book of card divination. Mr.Musruk is a French speaker with a good fluency in English which shows in the structure of some of his wording nut this does not detract from the immense value of his work

Reading Kipper cards
This book has a different approach to reading Kipper cards. Uses some techniques that may not be true to Kipper card system of reading. There are some spelling and grammar mistakes but I think that is due to translation errors. I have found some parts useful but have since found a better book.
