I have the same issue re the pictures.

I've been using WA for years now and love it.
I still use my original, but ordered a spare from Vic.
It's very well done, but needs to be broken in a bit imo.
The little card pocket is a nice subtly, and keeps the cards from being easily lost.

I was one of the contributors to the original text when it first came out many years ago. Enjoyed it much.

I’m with you on the upscaled pictures— actually, a text like that doesn’t require pics all and I’d like it better without any.

Also, not real big on plastering the name we all use here across the front... the hardbackers corrected that a bit tho.

I was looking through the Gemini Artifacts website for the millionth time, wishing I could afford everything on it, when I noticed something. The site’s listing for The Witches Almanac has its “real” name of the D***r***m. A little nervous a spectator might decide to Google the book’s title and stumble across it

Oh dear, I just noticed that there are also a LOT of threads on this site that use the word as well; one of them even in the title for the thread

So what?

I mean, isn’t that why people write Luna instead of the name of the asylum, or PHotO and whatnot for the Dopps books so we can pass it off as a real Artifacts rather than as a magic prop?

I've performed the witches almanac 100's of times and everyone thinks it's either a real book or they don't care.

It's not the end of the world if someone doesn't buy your act.

Be cool and have fun. . .

We're entertainers, or at least that's how I present myself. Everyone who comes to see me knows that they're attending a spooky, fun entertainment.

We use realistic props for the same reason that a movie director uses period props and costumes: to enhance the experience and immerse the audience in the fiction. But they (hopefully) are entertained, enjoy a shiver and the occasional laugh, then go home. And if someone else has the same book ... well, the TARDIS isn't real either, but you can believe in it and enjoy it while you watch your TV.

Wait a second ManxBull, the TARDIS isn't real?

Is the old black-cover version still available anywhere? While the new red cover look is snazzy, it looks less like something you'd pick up at a used book store, which is what I'm going for. Thanks.

I am looking for a good crib for Witches Almanac. I know Gemini Artifacts did a postcard, although that has been out of stock for sometime!

PM-ed you

Is it safe to assume that this is the "Special Edition" in the original video?

WA in the video looks like the Gemini Artifacts version. The original Outlaw version does not have the page at the beginning with the pentacle symbol. Gemini has a hard back version called Dekranom, if still available.

Does anyone know if these are discontinued at Gemini?

I thought I saw a newsletter a while back but now my memory betrays me... If the paper stock and image quality is different than Outlaw's I would love to pick up a copy were they ever to return to the site! Especially since my hardcover version doesn't have a pocket for the cards.
