The price of the package in the shop is costed well ahead of time, the paper chosen by the publisher and the cards printed in the far east. The Tuttle and UK editions were printed at the same time and are not different from each other. We are not consulted and anything we say will not be heeded, although we have made this comment many times. Sorry, blessings CaitlinCaitlín Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061112347793263359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611245907159825036.post-22581981631282229902014-04-20T11:04:35.292-07:002014-04-20T11:04:35.292-07:00Dear Caitlin,
I'm sorry for appearing out of ...Dear Caitlin, <br />I'm sorry for appearing out of the blue beneath this post, but I could not locate your e-mail address on your shared website with Mr. John Matthews. Maybe I was too hasty and have overlooked it by accident during the process--but I feel that I must convey my frustration to you regarding to your wonderful creation--The Steampunk Tarot. I have recently purchased the deck, and I absolutely loved it. I love the genre of Steampunk and I love you and John's reinterpretation of tarot in a Steampunk Imperium. However, I am frustrated because the publishing house (Tuttle) that distributes this deck throughout North America utilizes the most devastating print technology that bends the cards slightly in two directions, which makes it nearly impossible to shuffle. The artwork is stunning but the experience of the deck is completely inconvenienced by the poor paper quality. I've talked to many tarot lovers on Aeclectic Tarot Forum and many of them experience similar (if not worse) frustrations than I did. I am contacting you because I feel absolutely saddened by the fact that your wonderful creation cannot be enjoyed thoroughly across the tarot community because it is lamed by a mere technical issue. I don't know if there is any remedy for this issue, but if you have any control at all over the publishing process--I sincerely hope that a better edition will be made available in the future because I look forward to purchasing a deck that doesn't give me a papercut when I attempt to read it--as I am sure many other Steampunk Tarot fans do. <br /><br />Anyway. I am sorry for the complaint and I just want to let you know one more time that I adore the Steampunk Tarot and it is absolutely wonderful. From the bottom of my heart I wish the physical deck itself has the paper quality to champion it. <br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to read this humble comment.<br /><br />Best,<br />KimberlyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611245907159825036.post-89936646783016053142014-04-16T14:13:29.081-07:002014-04-16T14:13:29.081-07:00I am completing my Petit Etteilla Course currently...I am completing my Petit Etteilla Course currently and we can take back the tradition of cartomancy a little further.Caitlín Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061112347793263359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611245907159825036.post-64378383707581258022012-05-09T15:19:37.316-07:002012-05-09T15:19:37.316-07:00What a wonderful article!
