I've seen pictures of Scapini's Shakespeare Tarot, but it is hard to find the deck anywhere. I especially like the Empress card and would like to find the deck instead of Medieval Scapini. Is it sold out and does anyone know if there will be a new release soon?

If my memory serves me correctly, then I am sure that a friend of mine told me that it was out of print... or at least very difficult to find. I also think that it is quite expensive. C

Alidastore.com sells the Dal Negro deck also known as the Romeo and Juliet and it is in two formats, small and large. They write in English very well if you want to ask questions. It is worth 17.50 in Euro dollars, about twenty or so in U.S. dollars from Alidastore.com in the small version. www.tarotgarden.com in the U.S. seems temporarily sold out, but usually also sells both versions. They also have scans of the images. I bought the large version last year from Tarotgarden.com through a 'special' they were having. I bought the small version two years ago from Alidastore.com when they first advertised it. Both come with a thick booklet, in English and Italian Doreen Ashcroft Norwicki's Shakesperean Tarot is out of print, but Luigi Scapini's deck has been easily available for me the past few years if I am willing to buy online.
