Or perhaps she herself didn't understand the runes. I guess if she was able to look up the Celtic terminology she should have been able to look up the correct runes, there are only a hundred and fifty publications to choose from that have the runic alphabet in them. Okay, rant done. Irritation aside, the cards themselves are a very attractive set and are standard sized and handle and shuffle easily. The edges are buffed to a shiny polished finish, with the usual care taken by Llewellyn's to create a professional product.
Card stock is light and flexible without being flimsy.
Cards are coated with a thin protective coat but are not slippery or sticky. I would have liked very much to see a pronunciation guide provided. There are many very good points to this book, though. It is rich with lore and tables of correspondences. Heavily illustrated and diagrammed.
