I picked mine up from the PO this morning and have gone through the cards but not read with it yet.
Wow, just wow. This is the most beautiful deck. For starters I can't believe I finally have a copy after all these years. The wait was so worth it. Each card is beautiful and you could stare at them for hours. The details are remarkable. It's like looking through a gap in an old, moss-covered wall to catch a glimpse of that old, rambling house that you've never been able to visit. It reminds me of a childhood book that I can't quite place, there's a nostalgic feeling when you go through the cards for something that I feel I've forgotten.
It's very difficult to describe the feeling this deck gives you. The word that springs to mind is spectral for some reason. Haunting, gorgeous with an air of melancholy.
Agreed! And here's what I'm finding each time I use it: it's a rocking little deck to read with. The images tell you precisely what you need to know - the details take turns to be noticed, depending on what it is that needs to be seen. I was worried it would be all style and aesthetic value, but it isn't. It's a readable, workable deck as well.
