Got mine today. Alas, no gold edges --no gold anywhere, in fact. More lamination that I'd like to see, although not blinding Schiffer lamination. With the muted colors, makes the cards look like the world's thinnest slabs of marble. Marble wafers of a sort.
Not bad at all. The cards and book are exactly the size of her Visconti Golden Tarot edition. Like Aeric observed, a little too big for the Madenie, and hard to shuffle one way or the other. I love the box --for some reason I can't recall the Visconti's. After tossing away the insert, it's perfect for storing Lenormand decks....
