Yes, totally different groove...Like a Frankie Albano Thoth. I can't wait to get mine, but now it's Easter and I won't have it till next week.
Is anyone planning on doing a non-English Thoth timeline? it would be interesting but might bring out the (not so inner) completist in me. I saw a very bad, very blurred Brazilian miniature Thoth edition which comes with a translation of the Book of Thoth. Not a patch on this one.
Funny, it seems to me that the Germans love the Thoth. All my non-tarot German friends are familiar with the Thoth in a way which my non-German friends aren't. I think it was always the main tarot deck there. That, at least, is my impression.
