I do love the images and the style but what REALLY sold me visually was the DOG card. It seems SO happy and content and, of course, I am a dog fanatic
i was happily able to find the Mertz set on USA Amazon!
i had written to the Marketplace Sellers [The Stork Group in MD] and asked if it included the cards; i heard back from them this morning, and YES it is a [German] book and 36 card set. So i ordered it.
BTW, the Stork Group has 3 more left!

THIS is a style I really love. It's the vintage look but without the inserts and today I got a new copy from Book Depo. The last time was a couple years ago and BAD printing and well the backs weren't so great. THIS ONE IS MUCH BETTER! So yes, this is definitely one of my favorite styles. Old classic without inserts, rare. For 8 dollars inc shipping, I'm thrilled, this is definitely a keeper.
