... Yes, this little gem. Love it to bits. I had it on my wish-list for several years - I'm *so* glad I stumped up the large wad it cost me.
It's one of those decks that most people dread - a non-standard deck. In several ways, actually, but what concerns me at the moment are the ten extra cards. We have the normal Majors and normal minors, and we have a third group of ten cards in the deck, with interesting and intriguing titles like "Jockey Silks", "Anchovies", "Rooster", "Spurs" and so forth.
I have no problem reading with them, that's now what I'm asking.
What I'm interested in, is does anyone know the *story* of these extra cards? How do they fit into the life-story and wedding of Valentina Visconti, which is what the deck commemorates?
