Harmony, I know you have the Victorian Romantic, so I'm sure you'll love the Bohemian Gothic. They don't call it the Dark Sister for nothing! Although I haven't done a reading with this yet, just a deck interview, I have been studying mine since I got it some weeks ago. I don't have the book either, but there are so many ways to look into the card with your own two eyes that you can have a very rich storytelling experience with them all the same. Get a magnifying glass out, or scan the cards to blow them up (despeckled); you'll be amazed at the amount of detail that just keeps adding to the story-behind-the-story. As in, "what's wrong with this picture?"; psychologically, I mean, certainly not artistically or technically! There's also a study thread on AT, which I have followed with profit. It would be lovely to see you there, if you were interested!
I find this deck really deepens my understanding of shadow meanings. I might hesitate to read with this deck unless I was trying to flush out the roots of something that was making me depressed or anxious, in which case I'd probably reach for it first; but if I were to get reversed cards while reading with another deck (particularly the VR, which I've ordered, direct thanks to your reading for me with it!) I would reference those cards in the Bohemian Gothic for the psychological depths that I am still learning to plumb.
If, for some reason, you don't connect with the cards in spite of your best efforts, do make sure they get a good home! I am so glad you didn't ask for de-enabling on this deck!
ETA: I see the images best with good, cool, white light: daylight, reflecting-off-snow light. Once one is familiar with the cards, perhaps candle light, but I find the warmth even of incandescent light dulls the coolness and details if you are trying to study the cards themselves.
