I also don't believe in a lot of nonsense promulgated about their origins. The Wiki will tell you there's just no evidence of the Tarot, either literary or surviving cards, before the early 15th century. At least Walker doesn't claim they go back to Ancient Egypt, although she does link them to the gypsies, another dubious claim to say the least--since Tarot Cards were known in Europe before the Gypsies arrived! (See, this History of the Tarot online.)
All that said, I do find this book fun and informative. It covers each card of the Major and Minor Arcana, devoting pages to each. And I like the deck featured in the book. It's pretty, and with the Tarot I'm all about the shiny! ( )
