Publisher Review:
One of the difficulties in using the Tarot is the simple act of carrying them with you. Not only are most Tarot decks larger in dimensions than a regular deck of playing cards, they’re also much thicker. You can’t carry them in your pocket, and they practically fill a small purse. No wonder many Tarot sets have drawstring bags to make carrying the decks easier.
Lo Scarabeo, the prolific Italian publisher of some of the most beautiful Tarot decks in the world, has an additional solution, printing several of their decks in a "mini" size of 44 x 80 mm (about 1.73 x 3.15 inches), about 1/3 smaller than most Tarot decks. This makes them very easy to carry with you anywhere and everywhere.
Besides the smaller size, the next thing you’ll immediately notice is that these cards are not coated. Most Tarot (and playing card) decks are actually made of three layers glued together and then covered with a coating that makes them glossy and slippery. The coating also seals and protects the card. Because this mini deck is not coated, the images don’t "pop" as much as on the coated version, they are slightly tacky and a bit more difficult to shuffle, too. Although I’ve only worked with the deck for a week, it’s clear that they will attract finger oils and dirt more easily, meaning that the deck may not last as long as a coated deck. Therefore, if you like this deck, my suggestion is that you get several copies so when you wear out a copy you will still have one to use even if the deck goes out-of-print. . . read more.
