I would think it was fine here.

The ISBN from the USG site suggests they put it out in 1998 - and they have strenuously defended their copyright on it since 1971. I can't find anywhere suggesting earlier. Does she have an ISBN ?

AGM did print several of USG's editions.

Kaplan's Encyclopedia of Tarot, Vol. 4, acknowledges several non-English editions (including Spanish) but doesn't give publication dates. Vol. 3 says French and German editions were issued around 1984. That might be a good date to use as a working hypothesis for the Spanish.

What exactly do you mean by a question of the translation?

Actually I think it's possible 1998 may be it. Kaplan's Vol. 3 which first came out in 1990 makes no mention of a Spanish language edition, though it mentions the German and French; but in Vol. 4 (2005) it does. I thought there would've been a Spanish edition a long time before that but maybe not. :)

hi, thanks again for your replies, so 1998 maybe the time of the spanish editions then.
Greg, when i mean translation, i mean that the cards came out translated into spanish.

Yes, I know. And it was USG who put out all the other language versions - so their dating should hold up.
