i recommend that you get the large Swiss printing. this is the on with the grayish-white border around the Rosecrusian Cross (on the back). the colors are much truer on the version, and since Crowley puts SO much importance on EVERY correspondence, it just seems better to have your cards be as close to his vision as possible. and they're prettier too! but the little white book that comes with this deck is really not very good. however, with a deck like this, you've just got to get a proper book anyway, so that's a minor inconvenience.
