Freddie, I have it, and it is a lovely deck, for sure. It is dripping in gold!
For anyone who doesn't have this deck, the front of the cards have a lot of gold foil on them. The sides of the cards are not gilded. The backs of the cards do not have any gold.
The box has quite a lot of gold on all sides except one (?) I believe, which makes it a very decorative box.
I do not use this deck to read with.
The pictures in the center of each card are somewhat small. I can tell what each figure in an image is doing.
One has to be familiar with that period in history and its religious icons. If one is not familiar with the saints and religious scenes as portrayed on each card, one will not know what story is being told and thus interpretation of the card becomes difficult. Some of the scenes will be very familiar, but someone who is not familiar with a lot of these particular archetypes will have trouble reading these cards.
I have found it to be a pretty, decorative deck that I have on occasion retrieved from its box to flip through a few cards. It has been said that with its festive red-and-gold theme that it would be a good deck to have on display during the holiday season. If you have a place in your home, this would make a beautiful display.
I think without using the LWB it could be hard to read. With the LWB I think it is a readable deck.
