Summary: Wonderful Deck
Comment: You cannot go wrong with this deck whether you are a beginner or an advanced reader. The pleasing colors have added to the original Rider deck while not changing the original inspired work of Pamela Colman Smith. This deck is also great to meditate on since the pictures are beautiful. I have owned many decks and this one, in my opinion, is the best of them all.

Summary: A better option than the standard Rider-Waite...
Comment: I spent one year using the Rider-Waite decks and the following three years demagnetizing my mind from their tired old limited imageries (i.e. the pictured pips).
This oldie is certainly the top-seller in the American market, and not without good reason: the pictured pips take all the hassle out of your efforts at intuitive reading, and there are innumerable tarot books which adopt it as their illustrator. Hurrah. :-/ Still, I would implore all potential users to give the Marseilles-styled decks a try. They can be more rewarding, in fact.

Summary: nice, but coloring job not great
Comment: I own five versions of the Rider-Waite deck. I don't exactly dislike this interpretation--if you're used to looking at the more standard un-shaded versions, this will bring out details that you might not have noticed before. However, I find the colored pencil work more than slightly irritating. It has the look of having been colored in by an amateur in a coloring book. It isn't a very professional or artistic-looking coloring job. It's not atrocious, but it's not really great, either. The use of colored pencils--especially as applied here--also doesn't ring particularly true to the age in which this deck was originally conceived, nor to what one would imagine were Pamela Coleman-Smith's original intentions.
