For a change of pace, here's some news that's not about my wholesale order.

I got the Happy Squirrel PDF online. Now people can print it out and add it to their decks if they want. I didn't know where to put it, so I put it on the Happy Squirrel page in the "view the cards" section. I've been meaning to set up a PDF of a cover for the white box that matches the book cover. So that people who don't like a plain white box, but don't have the time or inclination to decorate it themselves, can print out the cover and paste it on their white box. When I get that done, I'll put it and the Happy Squirrel on a "downloads" page.

We got our official bios on Monday. She managed to make us sound like interesting people who know what they're talking about. I guess that's what a publicist does! They are also looking into a couple of Victoriana catalogs like Past Times and Victorian Trading Company, to see if they will carry the deck. Victorian Trading Company would be an especially good match for the deck I think. Along with reproductions of Victorian jewelry and knick-knacks, they sell lots of vaguely Victorian-ish things, including writing papers and books.

Also, I got a bunch of brochures from the New York Tarot Festival, to hand out at local bookstores. This is great because I can take them to the stores when I go around peddling my deck.
