It also shipped with 3 documents: 1) an order form for other tarot related products, 2) a copy of Ed Buryn's paper "Old Symbols for a New Age" which was presented at the 1st International Tarot Conference in Melbourne, Australian on July 12, 1997, and 3) a copy of Ed Buryn's "The Wheel of Eternity in the William Blake Tarot" chart and essay.
