Take any old tarot deck, get rid of the cheesy artwork, infuse it with the nostalgic spirit of Leave It to Beaver, illustrate it with 1950s iconography then seal it in attractive retro packaging-the result: a fully functional tarot deck that will appeal to nostalgia buffs and tarot practitioners alike! The kit includes a 96-page book describing the meaning of every card in an ironic 1950s context. The Brillo Pad, for example, represents strength while the Duncan Hines Chocolate Cake represents the devil. Hilarious artwork and kitschy text make this the perfect gift for anyone enchanted by Formica who seeks deeper wisdom in his or her life.

Graphic designers Paul Kepple and Jude Buffum contributed to The Baby Owner's Manual and Computer Waiting Games. They have designed books for Chronicle, Penguin Putnam, Rizzoli and Running Press. The Housewives Tarot is their debut as authors as well as illustrators.
