Copy and paste that second "long" URL and it links to the Table of Contents- names all the cards, b&w scans, etc.

:thumbsup: Thank you!

I'm not sure the book is all that suited to a child, Madame Dora is a bit of a character... She talks about her love of smoking, drinking and playing poker...she read for people in the great depression to feed her family and this deck is designed and written by her grandchildren and how they remember her and her stories. You can read some of the card meanings in the Google link IheartTarot posted. Very funny and straight to the point. Now I want to see how accurate they are! Just because they don't look like a serious deck I'm dying to see how they play out.

Got my set (shipped to a relative) while I was away! Very quirky style of drawing, but not ugly, IMO. The finish is glossy; card size 3 x 4.5 inches
*book is 4 x 6 inches ~ both fit into sunken wells in a plastic inner tray. I've attached a couple of pics.

Discerning Darla ~ Insight
Just Janet ~ Justice
Quirky Quincy ~ Reality

Ain't-Life-Grand Gertie ~ Contentment
Relaxed Rocky ~ Indulgence
Wise Walter ~ Possibilities
