Hello

The now rare Vieville fac simile by Heron-Boechat has been long out of print and hard to find, and has reached ridiculously high prices.
Editions Sivilixi now sell a new fac simile of pretty good quality, which is of a better quality than the edition mentioned above.
It is available at a very decent price at
http://editions-sivilixi.com/la-boutique/
where you can see some pictures.
It's better than the previous edition because it has a good cardstock, but more importantly because the cards are not deformed like the Heron Boechat version (cards are horizontally shrinked) or the letarot.com interpretation (cards are too large), the picture definition isn't perfect but better than anything that was previously available, and the library stamps have been digitally removed (a pretty good job).
The skin colours are a bit saturated but I've been told that it reflects the original (which I didn't see yet) and anyway the lines are far more readable than any other edition.

At this price, this deck is definitely a must have in any tarot collection, even if you own one or more copies of the Heron-Boechat edition, and if you don't then there's no reason not to own this deck !

It is good. I got mine the other day. I do have the Heron-Boechat too - and they are both good !

I can now vouch for the quality of this deck too.
Well done Patrick!
