When you buy this product, it comes in a little box that has a slip out center. On the top is the deck with about 1 inch of padding on each side as it rests in the middle. Underneath the tray is a poster (not listed in the description) that gives a quick outline of how a reading is generally done, as well as a visual of the Celtic cross spread and the meanings of the card positions. There is a tiny instruction booklet in the box of cards- it's only about 2-3 inches big and written in very tiny print.
Artistically speaking, the deck is beautiful. The artist goes out of his way to try and take into account elemental influences behind each card and show it in each one- for example, a lonesome bubble lurking somewhere about the picture for air influenced cards.
On the downside, this is probably not the first deck I should have picked. Some of the themes of the cards and their meanings are harder to divine from the artwork, which doesn't lend itself to those still learning the trade. The booklet that comes with the deck is small, has very small print, and has exceptionally narrow definitions for each card.
In summary: If you're looking for a personal deck, this is most definitely a keeper and will stay close to your heart. If you're new to tarot, consider another deck until you are comfortable with the meanings of the cards.

This is a beautiful and unique deck of tarot cards- it has a very modern translation which is a refreshing change from the traditional lwbs. (Little white books). Anyhow I think any tarot reader would be proud to own this deck and the artwork is truly stunning.

This deck is very colorful, the artwork is great if you love dragons. However, for me, the guidebook was too vague. The major arcana meanings are great but the minor arcana meanings are just simple words and not very descriptive. If you are planning on getting this deck, it is best to use it with your own interpretation because the guidebook doesn't help much. Also, in the guidebook, the meanings to some of the cards are not like the original meanings of the tarot deck cards.
For example "The Fool" card normally means someone who is not paying attention to their surroundings and do not think about their actions. But in the dragon tarot guidebook it says "A new chapter to ones life, Originality, Eccentricity."
Also, the minor arcana does not have reversed meanings. I love the artwork of this deck, but I felt no connection with the images and meanings. However, I gave it to my fiance and he seems to enjoy is very much. So it works for him! :D
