Woa, this took a turn...
The Everyday Tarot - Poppy Palin

You know - there are petition sites we could use for this... Maybe if faced with a really big one... Including the "we shall boycott you if..." bit...
gregory
Pfft. Now I have a BIG question.
Just HOW big is Poppy's book ?
I just received my Illuminati deck from Schiffer. (LOVELY box, by the way, and good, if a bit thick by MY standards
, card stock) - and it comes with a 176 page book. And I suspect they could use slightly thinner paper in it, if Poppy's book is that much bigger.... and a tighter layout.

I support a boycott if her deck is held hostage. 
I'm also not pleased that Poppy's vision is being compromised to such a degree. I want her book, not Schiffers.

I had a response from Schiffer saying that they are working with Poppy to create a product that will honour her beautiful writing. Anyone else had a response?
gregory
Nope.
But just how long is her book - do we know ? Because the 176 page one for the Illuminati that I mentioned could easily use thinner paper and a less lavish layout and the cards could be a fraction thinner too to make more depth for the book, even if the box has to be standard.

From Poppy -
I have just had confirmation form Schiffer that they are going ahead. Phew, it is SUCH a relief! Not sure how they are going to get around the book being too big...maybe the type will be so minuscule it can't be read? Who knows! I am so very grateful to you for your support - THANK YOU - and for the kindness of all the Aeclectic folk. Can you give them my love and say how much it means to me to have their confidence in my work - to know what i do is valued is so precious to me. Please know that I am deeply grateful.
Excellent news!

Yes I also had a response, same day I sent my message to them. They were telling me that "the Everyday Enchantment Tarot project is currently in the pipeline for Schiffer's spring 2018 catalogue"
English is not my first language and I can miss detailed precisions, but I think that means that the project is seriously considered, though nothing is definitively decided, isn't it ?
Sounds good I guess.
That is excellent news and I am very happy for Poppy ! And also for ourselves and for Schiffer too
