Buckland Romani Tarot ~ 2nd Edition

3/19/2014

4 Comments

 
I made a video of my latest acquisition of the Buckland Romani Tarot.  Call it a review or call it "show and tell" but I go through all the cards and make some comments about the deck.  

This deck has been on my wishlist for some time and I didn't realize it was still in print! The original Llewellyn edition has been OOP for a while, however, Galde Press has been printing the 2nd edition of the cards since 2008 and there were still a few left.  

The Buckland Romani Tarot's suit names have replaced the standard RWS. Koshes (Wands), Koros (Cups), Chives (Swords) & Bolers (Pentacles).  

The print quality is superb & the colors are beautifully saturated with very clear images. 
The cards are on a thick matte papery stock and the edges seem to chip easily since there is no protective coating. This happens with borderless decks! The tuck box is thinner than your usual box and no LWB was included. For $20 that's fine with me.

Card size is 2 3/4" x4 7/8" (70mm x 124mm).

The book I share here is a used OOP Llewellyn Publications 1st edition that I acquired prior to buying the 2nd edition deck.  This book is what finally prompted me to seek out the tarot deck. The 2nd edition of the book is still available through Galde Press.

UPDATE: The deck and book are now out of print.  I don't know if they will be printing this again.  Please check with them for further information.

Hello,

it seems that Galdepress.com is not an honest website : they take the money of their customers, but do not send the Buckland Romani deck or book ! It's really a shame, check the comments below your video on youtube, and you'll see ! You should not give a good advice about this website until they solve the issues with their customers (if they ever do so ....) !

Hello, I've read the comments, and from what I understood, Galde Press moved locations. I'm not sure what is going on over there. I have no affiliation with them. I received their product and reviewed it over two and half years ago. I have not kept up with their business. I'm sorry that people are still waiting on their tarots. I will update my comments section to warn people of the situation.

I don't know if anyone tried calling them, but it seems from the comments that the people waiting for an order are from outside of the USA. I just called and left a message stating these concerns. I told them to please leave a comment with information for everyone. I hope they will contact you all soon.

Best wishes,
Maree

Thank you for responding me so quickly and for your help too. I hope that Amber and Angel will receive their decks soon. I can understand that Phyllis Galde has been really busy those days, but she should have (at least) respond them when they tried to contact her by phone or emails in vain.
Let's wait and see then...

Kindly, Inès

Hello! I have an update. Phyllis called me right back and apologized for the lack of communication. She said she spoke with the concerned customers and got their orders out. One of her staff quit this summer and she has been under a huge workload between reprinting the Romani Tarot and getting behind on orders. She said she is moving the press to Asheville, NC from Minneapolis, MN this Fall, and she is truly busy from preparing for the move. A huge undertaking.

She said the Romani Tarot was out of print and they had to print it, collate the cards, assemble the boxes and put it all together. Now that the Romani Tarot is back in print, she is sending them out. BTW, she says that they do short runs. I am not sure how many she will have in stock at any one time, but they do sell out and have to reprint. Thought you would want to know!

You can contact Phyllis at Galde Press for any further questions or concerns: 1 (952) 891-5991.
