Any serious tarot amator must have this catalogue : written by the internationaly acclaimed expert Thierry Depaulis it is now available as a digital edition Gallica : http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k6532698n
Since the second edition is available, the Triomphes de Paris fac simile first edition has reached the “collectable item” status. There are – at the moment I’m writing these lines – five copies available – they are intended for those exhaustive collectors among you, dear readers, as in my opinion, the second edition is, quality wise, superior to the first edition.
The 1st ed cards are a bit thicker, but the cardboard is less sturdy, lighter and less opaque than the second edition’s. The 2nd edition features a 310 g/cm² french origin cardboard, linen finish, a much better and accurate printing quality and a more elegant and redesigned back (as simple as the first edition’s, but more detailled and with better, deeper colours).
Here are a few pictures comparing both editions, on the left the discontinued first edition, on the right the second edition, click the pictures to zoom :
After waiting two more months than initially planned, the Palimpsests are back in stock both in standard version (with linen finish and 310g paper) and mini version.
As announced earlier, you can now also buy rare, second hand, out of print and/or hard to find decks from tarotparis.com
