for all you fellow dark art lovers, this one is a beauty :-) liliana posted the link of one card of this deck, it looks great. there is a review about the deck here on tarotpassages, and this is the site where you can see some cards of the book of chaos. the limited run is now almost sold out, there is one left when i ordered my copy. kaz

Liliana	08 Jul 2002
i knew i shouldnt of done it, im saving to order one, looks like it wont happen now :P hehe Actually I wanted 2, 1 to color one to keep. Maybe hel make another run someday :THP

Kaz	08 Jul 2002
sorry liliana, you indeed should not have posted it, i cannot resist such a deck :P kaz

Liliana	08 Jul 2002
well i just emailed about the last one, i cant really afford it but i cant get one if i dont get it now :) and Il get a special bonus if he remembers me writing him a few months ago ;) :THP

Kaz	08 Jul 2002
lol, liliana good you gave in, it really looks like a great deck :-) all you others: they are gone now, liliana picked up the last one :P kaz

Liliana	08 Jul 2002
best of all my deck SHOULD be number 111 hahah I wish I could of seen the play they did using them, it looked awesome (elsewhere on his site) Hes a pretty strange fellow tho, I love strange people :) I figure I can xerox them for fun with coloring later, its one of my future planned tarot studies to get a bunch of books on tarot color symbolism, added with my personal color symbolism, to color this deck. Mostly because my significator (Queen of Cups) looks so much like me, or at least like i did before my hair was all chopped lol. Maybe Ill even Xerox them straight on to card stock so I can use my copy, while his can be a tucked away valuable, as we all know it will be with only 111 copies made. :THP

Liliana	08 Jul 2002
Yes he remembers me :) When I first corresponded with him I mentioned the first edition of the deck, which is mentioned on his site, and was curous as to which cards were redrawn. He told me hed send me xeroxes of some of the originals and he still will :) He cant guarantee how soon tho, as he leaving for vacation soon. :THP

Kaz	09 Jul 2002

Maan	09 Jul 2002
I'll try ;) I'm looking forward to it :)

Liliana	24 Jul 2002
Hey Kaz, did you get yours yet? I havent and Im going a little stir crazy, 2 decks in the mail and they are taken forever to get here, Im syuffering from withdrawl lol :) :THP

Kaz	28 Jul 2002
no i havent, but snailmail has been really slow last month if coming from outside europe. kaz

Kaz	29 Jul 2002
liliana !! it arrived here today :-) and, i LIKE it, cardstock is very thin, so shuffling is hard. prints could be better, but geez, this guy has done a great deck. and the lwb is a flimsy booklet of paper with some text on it, text is good, but it's all over the "pages" , hehe it sooo fits with the deck, i love this one . yea :-) wait til you get yours, you will see :-) kaz

Liliana	30 Jul 2002
I dont mind the cardstock because Im hoping to have it copied onto heavier weight cardstock so I can handcolor it without ruining the collectors edition, I have a little box waiting for it if it will fit inside lol, wonder how much longer it takes to get to America ;) :THP

Kaz	30 Jul 2002
hmm, copy on heavy stock, good idea :-) the box as well ....... but coloring: NO, one of the best features of this deck is being in black and white. why you want to color it? kaz

Liliana	30 Jul 2002
because its fun :) And I want to incorporate some color symbolism into certain ones of the cards, kind of a color symbolism study. Like the tower has 7 levels that correspond to the chakras, Id like to color them chakra colors. And Id love to color all the lovely swirly patterns on the queen of cups in shades of blue. Ill still have my original black and white copy too of course :) :THP

Liliana	08 Aug 2002
Mine FINALLY came yesterday and I love it, I dont think I will color it, a few cards I relly want to but a majority I dont, maybe Ill copy those few and color them for fun, hang the up as art :) But a number of my cards are bent, you have that problem? Im going to write him and ask if theres anyway I can get replacements for the bent ones, I dont want to have to exchange the entire deck as long as it took to get here. My husband likes it too :) :THP

Kaz	08 Aug 2002
mine arrived here fine, no bended cards. great deck right? hehe, you gotta love this one :-) kaz

Pollux	11 Aug 2002
Now I want to see scans too!!! PLEASE! And Liliana, would you mind including some xerox copies for me in the package? ;)

Liliana	11 Aug 2002
lol im gonna have 100 dollars in postage Pollux ;) :THP
