Just thinking about the Ancient Tarot of Bologna, of which I don't have a copy at all.....do I need a copy of this one?
Don't worry; Ive been thinking ahead for you. I ordered a back up for myself which Im not sure I will ever use. Im sure one day I'l get rid of it!

I was also thinking about how wonderful it would be to have a mini AIT, but also realising that's unlikely to ever happen. So I thought perhaps if I trimmed a Classical then that might be the next best thing. Anyone else done this? I saw some scans in the trimming forum. The back does't look too great but it's pretty awful to begin with so I guess it doesn't matter that much. Of course, if I'm going to trim it then I'll need to get a back-up first
The problem is that the backs will look too off-set. I have thought time and time again about trimming one of my Classicals, (every time I get it out in fact), but those off-set backs would bother me. Funny, but the off-set backs of my trimmed Tarot of the Master don't bother me for some reason...
You know what I love as a"not-quite-mini" but charming carry-about Italian tarot?
The
Genovese Tarot.
I have two copies of this and although the images are cut in half, they are very similar to the Ancient Italian Tarot and are very eye-catching to querents. It is a lovely size, just a bit longer (same width) as standard playing cards. I have written a review of this deck for AT but I don't think it's up yet. It is one of those unmentioned, lovely and cheap decks. Dream cardstock, dream backs, dream lamination and only 10 euros or so.
This is my "on the go" Soprafino.
