Just FYI, Schiffer did us all a solid and released a smaller version* minus the box and the book, that has to be ordered directly from them. It costs about $15 shipped in the US, and you can order it by phone from Schiffer at (610)593-1777.
I LOVE this deck, and have both versions, and the smaller one is a h**l of a lot easier to shuffle.
*(Apparently because of the complaints of numerous people, including Delores Fitchie herself. Those gorgeous cards are bigger than dessert plates!
)
P.S. If you don't have a question, just do a deck interview. It's a lot of fun.
