I've never seen this original publication. Is there much difference in content?

I found my PCO set by Two Sisters Press in 2007. It was previously used, and I paid $15 (plus tax) for it. Attached to the box inside, there is a coupon for "The Picture Book of Ana Cortez Keepsake Tin" -- a Keepsake TIN, for goodness sake! Well, I didn't try to redeem it, because the set was already five years old, and PCO was being published by USG by that time. I wish now that I had at least tried! If you read this, Ana, do you happen to have any supplies left?Wow, i have never seen the boxed 2 Sisters publication, Squeeji! i am a tad jealous!
[okay a little more than a tad. ] What an incredible find! ido have my cherished
Autographed self published vintage edition deckwith the fab matte cardstock
and borderless backs. i can't even remember when i got that from Ana...Maybe 2008 or 2009?
Can't recall...

Oooooo... So, there is hope! This sounds like it would be a very fancy tin. The tins I've received with other decks (Lenormand) only have an image or sticker on the lid. My plan for the Alchemy deck is to follow garmonbozia's lead and use the Ace of Hearts sticker you included with the deck. (Will post pics.)<snip>Tins... ahh well. This are so very rare. We had these marvelous decals.... Madame Dart (book cover Priestess) on the front, Ace of Clubs for the sides, plus a decal for the bottom. I have tried in vain to contact the person who created these for us and who would have the files. I need to hire a spy /detective to hunt these down.
I still have boxes and boxes filled with lovely gold and silver tins. Alas, they are naked in my cold storage shed.
You're right. I've never been able to to find a proper section on cartomancy in any bookstore. I've learned to find the Tarot shelf and then scour everything near it for cartomantic goodies. The PCO set was shelved amongst books on Wicca, etc., located very near the Tarot section.Re: the Boulder Bookstore. The owner stumbled on our display, arranged for the opening gala of the PCO at the Boulder Arts Cooperative (photo from the "gala" at anacortez.com/about) and bought a dozen sets. I think he liked it! Anyway, they took a long time to sell through the bookstore. Sold quite well at the Arts Cooperative, however. Once again, our work has suffered over the years as there is no proper category for it.
Yes! It is an excellent 2-piece box (my favorite type), covered with wonderful graphics!The box for the original set was VERY cool, very sturdy, and my favorite box design. I will post a photo on instagram. Actually I already posted one of the inside border. Everything was detailed spectacularly.
YAY!!!!! Crossing my fingers now!!! (Will uncross them when the time comes.)Thanks for the link for the iphone app suggestion. I will check it out! I'm sure this will be happening at some point... Timing, as for everything.
