Mona Lisa Tarot Book?

I have just traded for the Mona Lisa Tarot.. they really do intrigue me..
Apparently they take a different angle on a few of the cards.. I have read the review.. and i am still extremly keen..

There is a Book.. I am wondering is this book available yet? Every time i google they are either out of stock or not available yet..


I am wondering if anyone has the book.. I am sure it would be launched by now as the deck was released last year.. as i see kits available with the book..

Can anyone help me out Please?

I wrote the publisher asking about this book months ago. I was told that they have cancelled the publication of the book entirely, never going to happen! . They did say that there might a small PDF release at some point though.

Sorry for the bad news!

What a bummer!! I was looking forwards to read about the history and reasoning behind their choice of images.. Not happy Jan


edited to say , do you know if the kits have a book with them as it deosnt stipulate.. it just says a kit..

I might have to write to the publisher too.

See this thread, especially Post 50 from RiccardoLS. There is no book, so there can be no kit. There may be a deluxe version, but if there is one, it comes with a bag, not a book.

At this point, I think the best any of us can hope for is for LoS to release the PDF in some form.

Yeap, I am as disappointed as everyone else. I worked and worked with the deck but in the end I have pretty much given up on it. Great promise, excellent images, novel approach but in the end I never had any success with it as a reading deck and so I had to move on to decks that be reading decks for me.

I have decided to keep the deck, I am nearly ready to go through a big purge of my decks. In time, if the pdf comes out, I may pick it up again but still I am not sure a book would have turned this into a reading deck in the end. It is and remains an intellectual mystery and puzzle which some how kinda fits the deck and the allure of the Mona Lisa itself.

I was waiting till the book's release to get the deck.

Now I won't get the deck.

I suppose they win some, they lose some.

the frustrating part is the fact the book was promised from day one really... even to the extent of showing pictures (if I remember rightly) of how the box would look for the book/deck set.

I was holding out hope the set would be available, especially as Mark McElroy was responsible for the book. I adore his writing style and was excited and expectant, as were many of us.

Oh well... these things happen I guess

I think the missing book hurt sales of the deck... and poor sales killed the possibility of a book.

I think you have it in one. What a vicious circle.
