From the Publisher (Kunati) -- A few boxes of the review copies are in, and about to go out. The finished decks are even more beautiful than I imagined. The box is stunning and will probably last a life-time, and the hinged design (of the "cigar box") is very unique! The cards, of course, are truly magnificent in every way, right down to the most subtle detail. The image reproduction is stunning, as only high quality offset can produce in this level of detail, enrichened by the wonderful gold gilt. Even the reverse side of the cards is rich, almost luminous. With the 200 page book fitting so handily in the tiny box, it's perfect for carrying. My favorite deck by far! (and that's saying a lot in my collection -- as a publisher, I have an excuse to buy almost every deck released).
The main shipment has left the bindery, and it looks like Amazon and retailers will have Touchstone earlier than the release date! Best, Derek Armstrong.
