Tarot of the Magical Forest

[GryffinSong]

I've fallen in love with this charming deck, and read in here that it was from Asia. Those posts were in 1995, so I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find it. It looks like a version will be published by lo scarabeo and can be pre-ordered from amazon. I haven't found the release date yet, but will keep searching. My wish list is so long, but I find myself in need of humor and lightness right now. This deck seems to fit the bill perfectly. I hope it comes out soon! Does anyone know with these supposedly-low pre-order prices, whether the price goes up when it releases? Or should I just wait?

Release date is listed as July 1, 2008. I'm assuming this release will have a little book/pamphlet written in English.

There is another thread about this deck. Probably a couple of pages back. If you have a credit card you can order it now from http://www.alidastore.com/
UK Amazon currently has it in stock as well which is where I bought it from. I don't think the price went up after it was released here.

Oh and yes the LWB is in English and quite a cute write up.

Thanks! I have seen the original version available for about $25. The new release is packaged a little differently, is presumably in English, and is only $15.61 on pre-order. The price and the (hopefully) English book are the reasons I want to wait.

Catbaloo, Amazon UK has 2 listings for this, one says it's pre-order only and the other says it's in stock with only one left.
Could you tell me if either of these is the one you ordered?

I ordered the first one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tarot-Magic...=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1211402916&sr=8-2 and received it two weeks ago. The box and cards look exactly like they do in the second link.

Your link that says it's not yet released, and has the photo, is the same as the new listing in the states.

You can get it from Italy though, the new printing with the english book, as another poster stated above.

Thanks all! I finally figured out how to get the Italian site into English so I could read it. I'll wait for the local amazon, as the Italian price comes out much higher. I've got other decks to keep me interested until this one is more readily/cheaply available.

For those of you who have it, does it read as sweetly as it looks?
