A new deck on Kickstarter it seems with some very interesting artwork. But it also seems that 1 deck costs $26 in the US, $36 for everyone else. And 2 decks is $52. So a little bit overpriced. Not to mention to mention of stock, finish, or who's printing it. But some of you may be interested in this artsy deck. Here is the link - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bookofknowing/the-book-of-knowing-extraordinary-playing-cards?ref=live

The artwork is very nice but its not really my style of a deck of cards. I'll be passing on this one.

Not at all a fan of the artwork, and with a goal a bit over 6,000$, I doubt it'll be USPCC. It seems they're doing pretty well though! Pass from me.

The art's OK, but the deck cost (and SIZE) are enough to make me say pass.  She's making this thing double the size of a poker-sized deck.  It's clear that she meant to use them as divination tools more than anything else.
