Thanks Patrick and Em.
Similar to Kay, I can't believe that we're finally about to receive proof copies. Seeing the photo of the box and book made it seem a lot more real. Before we know it, September will come round.
Kunati's designer has done such a good job of the presentation. It's his attention to detail that's so special. As you can see from the photo, the box inner is in golden yellow. What you can't see from this photo is that the back of the box shows the Fool card and the yellow box interior colour co-ordinates with the Fool artwork.
Just as beautifully thought out are the title cards. Normally you'd have a top title card and a dedication card. Because there were two of us, Kam the designer came up with the brilliant idea of two personalised title/dedication cards, each showing us as we appear in the deck. Kay's shows her as seen on the Queen of Wands, mine shows me as seen on the King of Pentacles. Each title card was given text or a dedication of our own choice. I've attached them here. Excuse the text on Kay's card - I only have the early draft on file so they've typed in gibberish where the text (a quote from William Blake) will finally appear.
