Thanks lark
I ordered the new version and it just came. Brand new and sealed but some damaged cards so it's going back. Grrr. I can't even trim them because of where the damage is
The card stock isn't good and I don't like the way the images have been altered, they appear quite fuzzy. That may just be my eyesight though. But, I like the book - much easier to read format than the old one - and a few updates to the bibliography.
Same here I like the new format of the book, but not the card stock.
In the new Edition I like:
The larger images.
The books easier to read format
And that there is a number on each card along with the name. makes it easier to look up in the book.
I like that each of the outside borders of the cards are all in different colors for the different suits...makes for a nice colorful edge treatment, and easy identification of the suits.
Original Edition
The card stock is better
And the image quality is a little crisper.
I wasn't going to bother to buy it, but then I thought...anything that Chesca Potter does
l'll support...and I'm glad I got it.
Can you believe it was my first time ordering from the Book Depository...and it was super fast!
So sorry yours was damaged..
