I had been thinking about buying this deck from my local bookshop, but didn't have the extra money (well, in my case, I never have extra money)....well, you know how it happens...you don't buy it and then when you make a special trip back to actually give the money to the cashier and take home that deck you've been eyeing,....it's gone :( The problem is, it was a very unique looking deck, but I dont remember the name of it. I know the author and artist, so I thought perhaps someone here may be able to help me out. The deck is by Colin Howard and Bridget Reed....anyone know it?

Is this the deck? http://www.tarotpassages.com/cachet-lb.htm Cachet Tarot Reading Set

YES!!!!! How ever did you know which deck I was talking about? I'm glad you gave me this link Rusty....I didn't realize the minors were pips (unillustrated I mean)

Actually I never heard of this deck before. I just went onto google.com and typed: "Colin Howard" "Bridget Reed" Oh .... forget I said. Actually I am omniscient.

http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?bx=off&sts=t&ds=30&bi=0&isbn=1842298305&sortby=2 This is a little hard to find, but I did. See the ISBN number:1842298305 I ordered it from Wildflower Books and got the Tarot Reading set, also known as Cachet Tarot, for about 13.00. It came within a week. Regards, Cerulean
