I purchased this deck at the Dali musuem in St. Petersburg. They are lovely, large, and with gold-gilted edges. Each card was designed by Dali and has his signature. It is somewhat difficult to read these cards if you are used to the Waite decks or other traditional decks, but definitely worth studying. Probably not for the beginner. It is interesting to see his perspective on each of the cards. The book that comes with the set is very limited in content, and covers only the major arcana; minor cards are not addressed. It is written in several languages. I would recommend this deck if creative art and new symbolism attract you. I love them!

This Tarot deck looks stunning. The Gold Boarders add to the awe of Dali's Paintings. If you like Dali Art these cards are a must for you. If you do not actually use the cards it might be a smart idea to just get the Salvador Dali Tarot Book by Rachel Pollack as everycard is beautifully printed in full size on a full page. That way you not only get to see the cards but also get a little explanation of each. If you cant find the book, get these cards!! Highly Recommended!! Great Deck!!

This deck is a gorgeous item. It's absolutely perfect for any fan of Dali, because it gives them 78 original works of art to appreciate and delve into.
Someone with a lot of experiance in tarot reading would appreciate the original and insigtful symbolism that stays true to the tarot, as well as love gold rimming. The box is remarkable. Many people might discard the box for a cheaper deck and use their own, special way of storing them. With this deck, you wouldn't dare. The cards are very large, which means shuffling requires some getting used to, but the larger cards somehow seem more appropriate in a tarot reading.
The deck is primarily spanish, with english as a secondary (major arcana are labled in both languages, but face cards are only spanish, so it might be worth remembering the spanish words for page and knight before doing a reading.) The booklet included with the deck is printed in 4 languages, including french and german.
One note on the book: Don't rely on it. Dali's symbolism can be a bit overwealming and difficult to understand for someone new to the tarot, making this an intimidating deck for biginners. All the booklet has is the meanings of the major arcana and a small description the the symbolism dali was using for each of them. It also shows 3 spreads, but gives no information on how to read them. In fact the most useful fart of the booklet may be the 3 paragraph introduction. If you are a beginner and want a guide, use any book, teacher or online resource you choose to get you started, the included booklet would be insufficient.
For an experianced Tarot reader, this is sure to be a delightful deck.

Tarot Universal Dali
This is a beautiful deck to read the tarot. The cards are even gilded in gold. Dali adds his particular genius to each card.
