Pamela Colman Smith

I'm taking a tarot class and I've sort of fallen down the rabbit hole of Pamela and her life, a fascinating woman. Her art is magical I love it.

Quem procura este livro já sabe o conteúdo. O que é importante ressaltar, então?O livro vem com uma capa dura de luxo, linda.Vem dentro de um case/box muito bem feito e acompanhando a arte.O contéudo interno do livro é idêntico ao da versão mais simples e barata (e também esgotada)o que muda? Somente a página em que estão as assinaturas/autógrafos dos autores, entre eleso lendário Stuart Kaplan (falecido há poucos meses) portanto, quem tem o livro assinado, tem, quem não tem, não terá mais porque além de limitado a 500 cópias, o "homem" morreu.Vale a pena investir e comprar esta versão? Totalmente. Se dinheiro não for problema, se considerar como um investimento e melhor ainda, se conseguir pegar uma promoção da Amazon em que consiga um bom desconto, que foi o meu caso.Existe atualmente no Brasil (junho/2022) uma campanha de financiamento coletivo da editora Palimpsestus no catarse para tradução e lançamento da obra de Pamela Colman, pela primeira vez em português, com tudo o que tem direito. Vale a pena conferir e prestigiar, será um marco. Pergunta: Trata-se deste mesmo livro aqui? Resposta Importante: Não. Não é o mesmo livro. Então, aproveite e fique de olho nos dois.

Such an interesting and inspiring book based on the life of Pamela Coleman Smith, known to many as Pixie. Very well written, one of the best books I’ve ever bought. Definitely worth it!

Un très bel ouvrage. Un seul regret : qu'il n'ait pas été traduit en français...

I thought the book was a normal hardcover but what a surprise! Was BIG Hardcover book beautifuly done, with great quality pages and printing. The images of Pamela Colman Smith's art look Great. Stunning colors ...all the art or images looks clear and detailed. A gifted English artist from the late 19th century and early 20th century on a time were women hadn't much rights as men, but pushed strongly for her art to be recognized as artist,painter and author and editor. For those we know about the now classic Rider-Waite tarot but not knew anything or much of the gifted artist who realized the art, is a JEWEL this book. I knew of her later after years of knowing of that famous tarot deck. Too bad in the medium of mystic/holistic/esoteric culture (where I frequented) when people tell you or recommend the Raider-Waite never the topic of the artist come around. And when I researched by myself and asked or told about her, people didn't knew about her...maybe of Arthur Edward Waite ..but even little or not much too. Just a minority of those I met on those early years of my learning of tarot knew who She was. This book is a MUST for people who are in the path of esoteric or tarot (as of course the Raider-Waite deck always is one of the most used) , are artist or studying art history or love History only for the learning as I do love history too. Great redacting the information about Pamela Colman Smith, and the other art apart from the tarot deck. The only downside but wasn't amazon's fault ...the ups service threw the box above the front iron fence of 6 ft. into the front porch but Good it was well protected packaged (Good service on packaging) . Sometimes things like that get one mad. But all is well and undamaged.
