Just thought you would like to know that the first edition (1988) of Elemental Tarot by Caroline Smith and John Astrop is on sale at bn.com (Barnes & Noble) for $5.99. (Just ordered mine!) They also have The Oracle of Kabbalah by Richard Seidman for $5.98. Got it on a whim. It turns out to be a very good overview of new age-kabbalah-jewish-zen meanings for each Hebrew letter. Nice because it's new age but not tarot-related, so you get to make the tarot connections yourself! (I took notes!) It contains cards, one for each letter, just black on white--eh . . . Also on sale is Understanding the Tarot: A Personal Teaching Guide by Juliet Sharman-Burke for $4.98. Happy shopping!

The shelves for Tarot at Barnes&Noble are getting smaller, and they've reduced their catalog items for this area also. It may have a bit to do with the pending sale of USGames.

Must be why new releases are on hold...who's it being sold to? (Off topic) On Topic: Are you sure it's the 1st Edition Elemental, in the Grey box, c 1988?

There is a picture of a grey box and it says "Pub. date: October 1988". Of course, it also says "Hardcover - Bargain" so I hope it is actually the cards! There wasn't a book sold separately, was there?

I have the first edition. It comes with a small hard cover book inside the box with the cards.

O.k., then that must be what I'm getting. Cool!
