Don't buy the Alchemical in ANY incarnation.
You'll never be able to read with it without the book (and probably a couple of other books - thick, obscure ones) in hand.
I can't really de-enable from this deck!
I do need to say that the original companion book is reproduced almost entirely in the Alchemical Study Group on this forum. Sorry, just had to say that.
To redeem myself I'll try to say something negative in the spirit of this forum....the card stock on the renewed deck isn't as nice as the original, it has got the potential to chip around the edges. The colouring is slightly pinkish on some cards, as if the red was turned up too high during the print process. Sorry, that's all I can think of.
