Thanx, Hudson...
Good info, but she didn't mention the U. S. Games version I use. That's the 1999 edition with all kinds of printing errors, bumpy card backs and rough edges.
No big deal, though--it's got plenty of miles left before I replace it!

All the different devils and towers and many available Visconti decks:

The images are interesting to look at after reading the amazing article. I wish the original article also mentioned if she preferred any specific Italian version.
To be honest, I like the Lo Scarabeo book with the 2002 edition more and more, so I enjoy using that modern restoration deck. Otherwise, they were pretty pictures and of historical interest.
Maybe someday someone will do a beautiful reproduction of one of the other Visconti decks that I've seen in a catalogue, with blue and silver, the Brambilla Brera.

I wonder if she would go into more detail if people started contacting her about that article...maybe do a second part to it & cover more ground?
It couldn't hurt, anyone want to take a shot at it?
