This is the only information I can find: http://www.france-cartes.fr/pages_anglais/index_anglais.htm I read in another thread written in 2005 a comment that the card-maker may be going out of business, but given that the business was sold to France Cartes in 1962, I am not certain if anyone has heard anything concrete to read on the web? Regards, Cerulean

I haven't and I see stacks of the decks in my corner bookshop. I can ask the bookseller if he's heard anything about the deck being discontinued (France-Cartes/Grimaud wouldn't be going out of business, as it is is "the" card-maker in France. It could be bought out, however).
