Kim Krans (Penguin Random House author page)

This is Penguin Random House's own author page for Kim Krans, recording her education at Cooper Union, Hunter College and the Pacifica Graduate Institute, and noting her deck The Wild Unknown Tarot as a New York Times bestseller. Its strength is that a major publisher's own author page reliably records that biographical and career detail. Its limit is that it is promotional publisher material rather than an independent account, so it cannot be cited for a claim about the standard Rider-Waite-Smith tarot tradition Krans's deck departs from, or about tarot's own documented history more broadly, both of which need a source treating that tradition on its own terms rather than a publisher's biography of one artist working within it.
