I'm reserving judgement on the USG edition. As ever, I think it will not be to everyone's taste. I shall also be interested to compare it to the LS commemorative edition.

I prefer the Original but my advice regarding the Universal would always be to buy the pocket version (printed in China) rather than the standard edition now printed in Italy. The standard version is a dreadful reproduction of Mary Hanson Robert's wonderful re-colouring of the artwork.

Was there ever a standard-size edition of the Universal Waite that is as vivid as the pocket version? I recently got the pocket deck based on recommendations here and elsewhere, and I like it a lot but find myself wishing it were bigger. Should I bother trying to track down an original printing of the standard size?
