This deck was purchased new from the mall by myself and never used.I did take the cards out of the back of the book to look at them so they are no longer attached to the book itself but can be super glued back in easily . I was going to gift them and keep the book because it is so informative so I wrote a note on the envelope but then decided they should stay together with the book and go to a loving new home .the book and deck are in perfect condition other than the back flap where envelope was removed . This deck is beautiful for a teen or for anyone who likes pink cute magical things . and is great for learning the Lenormand .
