The Cornish Tarot is now being printed, albeit digitally. However this is a short run process and not a true substitute for a proper print as for a mass printing it is too expensive. Unfortunately we do not have the resources currently to print it in the standard form. The digital method has the advantage of being cheaper and easier to reproduce and if the demand is there can be made available in an alternative orthography if the demand is there. Currently it is available in Kemmyn, but there is a plan for a limited edition UCR Tarot but will only be printed if there is the support for it. Otherwise the only Cornish tarot will be Kemmyn only. The design is extremely modern and is very clear and easy to use. The back of the cards is a plain white (the original plan of having the Cornish flag on the back was dropped as from a design point of view the plain white background fitted the design of the cards better. Hopefully soon we will find someone within Cornwall who will agree to publish the cards, otherwise the first ever Cornish Tarot will continue to be printed in London, which is very sad.

Just to let everyone know that the cards have been selling fast. I have less than a dozen packs now left, with one or two shops haveing a few copies left.
If you want to order any for christmas, order now.
The re-print will happen sometime next year, but I can't guarantee when.

Just to let everyone know that due to an increase in sales, the Cornish Tarot is due for a third print run in the next few weeks! It has now sold as far away as australia, united states and europe, as well as continuing to sell well in the UK!
Makes you wonder if the various companies that turned it down, are kicking themselves right now!
The new edition will feature special new artwork and will see UCR rather than Kemmyn on all the cards. It is highly likely that this will be the standard set, and that no kemmyn version will be printed after the current edition has sold out. So if you would like the tarot in kemmyn, i would order right now.
