The court cards and major arcana are absolutely stunning. These are the only redeeming quality in this deck and the 2 stars are for those cards alone. But ALL the minor arcana are exactly the same picture. The 5 of masks is, well, a picture of 5 masks. The 2 of flowers is a picture of (surprise!) 2 flowers. Rinse and repeat for all 4 suits times 10. I think this is very, very lazy in such a beautiful deck. The "guide" is a tiny black and white pamphlet with minimal information and cryptic keywords that do a very poor job of explaining the art that is at the core of the cards. I literally threw it away because it's useless. The word "hardcover" led me to believe the guide would be... hardcover. So, not sure what that word is about. Will be shelving these and buying a traditional RWS deck. I am new to tarot and not yet familiar enough with the meanings of the minor arcana to guess what they represent with no imagery whatsoever. Would not recommend this product.
