I am a big fan of the smaller pocket decks (small hands and their cheaper :) ) So I was wondering if there was one deck you could get in a pocket version what would it be? Well I can't narrow it down to just one but here are the decks I would like to see in a pocket version. Whimsical tarot- would love a small version to cary to use with children and people who arn't sure about tarot. Fey deck- This deck is sooooo cool wouldn't you just love a pocket version? Halloween deck- One of my all time favs

The Vertigo! And the Greenwood (anything to get that back into the public's hands). But the Nefertiti should come in extra large size, like the Regina Victoria does. That one is made to be impressive, can you just see all the gold leaf on something that large?

Just about any deck, I suppose, really, because it would be nice to use each of my decks at various times when I'm travelling. Specifically, though, I'd have to say the Rohrig deck because that's my favorite.

I think pocket-sizes works best with decks without too much tiny details. I think Glastonbury would be great as a mini-deck. And maybe Celtic Wisdom too. I think I would use the Daughters of the moon more if it was a bit smaller. High on my list is a mini Osho zen.

As I do not take my decks outside my home, I really prefer them to be their actual size . It would be easier to locate them if they get misplaced anywhere around the house. However, I definitely prefer regular size Rohrig, Thoth, Voyager, Sacred Circle, and Nigel Jackson, for easier handling.

I really like the size of Hanson-Roberts deck. I'd love to have my ancestral path in that size, and definitely the Whimsical. I really don't like large decks.

I'd love to see all my big decks in that size, or at least in "normal" size...Sacred Circle, Inner Child, and I hear one of the decks I'm getting soon is big as well....le sigh.

I'm always in search for pocket decks!!! There are so many I'd like to find, but my first choice would be the Golden Tarot by Kat Black! I wouldn't even mind if it came without the gilded edges, I'd just be thrilled with it anyway. (Oh, by the way, the gilding is actually already coming off from my deck, so...) Radiant in pocket size would be nice too and I've heard that Visconti is actually coming soon!

I'll say the International Icon Tarot by Aeclectic's own Rota. Bob :THERM

Marion	27 Mar 2004
I agree with jema's comment that it works better with decks with less detail. The International Icon would indeed work well, and the Glastonbury. :D I would also like to see the Rohrig in a normal size. Even for me with very long hands, that deck is tough to manipulate.

I second the Fey as a pocket deck. I think the art would work fine in a smaller size, and making it smaller would just amplify its cuteness! I'd carry it around all the time. :D

I actually decided to email the publisher of the Rohrig deck a request to make a pocket-size version. Maybe with enough requests like these the publishers will notice? It could happen. The website for the Rohrig publisher (Bluestar Communications) is: http://www.amberlotus.com/bluestar-communications.html ... and their general email address is: info@amberlotus.com

Oh and I have just this week fallen heads over heels in love with a deck that I just have to buy and that would be so neat in a pocket size: Buddha tarot!!!

Emily	28 Mar 2004
I think I would like to see the pocket Morgan Greer, Sacred Circle, Osho Zen, and the Victoria Regina (then again I'd love to see that coloured too lol)

I would like to see a pocket deck in the Marseille style (gosh, I am starting to sound like Diana :D), since I only have the Hadar and the Fournier, either one would be cool. Also the Rohrig and Morgan Greer would work well too, I think. J :)

I've seen one on some net store and Alida Store as well.

Oh I would LOVE to see the Robin Wood in a pocket edition. That is my deck for when my brain is fired as I can read with it sooo well. I would also like to see a pocket Tarot of the Old Path, and Wolf Pack deck, Oh and if I could also choose a Oracle deck the Self Care cards in a smaller set.

Kirali	30 Mar 2004
I would also love to see the Fey as a pocket deck!! That would be very cool. :)

Hedera	31 Mar 2004
I agree - the Fey would be great as a pocket deck! I would also love to have a pocket version of the World Spirit. I love that deck, but it's slightly too big (and heavy, somehow) for me to use comfortably. The World Spirit in the Hanson-Roberts' size, that would be perfect! I think it would work well with the artwork, too.
