Does anyone read with this deck? I was thinking about buying it to keep in my desk at work for lunchtime readings. It isn't on my favorites list, because its a little on the saccharine side of the spectrum for me. But, its small size seems convenient.

I would love to have a mini-deck though I usually carry around a regular sized deck (World Spirit or Spiral) in my purse. They just seem so cute and neat! I was looking at the mini-RWS though. I might consider the mini-Connolly instead since I'm not a big fan of just plain RWS. I have looked at the Connolly a little more, and although I don't necessarily like some of the changes, the medieval/renaissance clothing on the people is kinda neat. I don't think I'd mind using it for the things one would have a mini-deck for. Does anyone know if the mini-Thoth is available in the US? If so, where can I order it? :) Kes

I have the Mini-Connolly just as a Collector's item. A Mini-Thoth would be cute, we only have Pocket Thoth and the bigger ones here but keep in mind that shuffling a Mini-deck is not easy.

DG, i have the mini-connolly, but i can't use it very well. however, i am newly enamored by the pocket RWS. it is smallish, but it has still proven to be the perfect size for shuffling, because, indeed, the "mini's" are difficult to handle...different grip-troubles, but the same overall frustration as is with over-sized decks! that was the only thing keeping me from using a nice n' comfy rider-waite: mini, too small; standard, too big, blah-blah-blah... the pocket-sized RWS is in the dimensions of the zerner-farber or hanson-roberts, maybe even a little smaller, like a regular poker deck of playing cards. another one in that size-range is the african tarot, but it requires a certain taste in art style...
