I just got this deck a few days ago. It's pretty awesome. Very different. There are a lot of things you can do with this that you can't do with any other deck.
And I came across this link soon after getting the deck:

It's like an interactive online version of the deck. You'll need your java program to be working properly though. It gives you a reading using this deck, like some other online automatic tarot reading sites do. But you can move the cards around with your mouse and you have the option to display them without the borders. It's fun. And no matter how deeply layered the cards are in this online version, you'll see the picture on the bottom clearly.
In person, the cards are a little tricky to work with. You need to have good lighting, and preferably a white background. But the deck comes with a white cloth to read them on. They don't shuffle well, because the plastic kind of sticks. Plus while shuffling you will kind of see which cards are coming up on top because it's transparent lol.
When you have a pile of about 10 cards, you can still see the picture on the card at the bottom, but it gets murky. It's kind of neat in a way though. You could use this in your readings to interpret the murkier looking pictures in the background as weaker influences or something far into the future or something like that. You can also turn the whole pile around to see them all from the other side.
With this deck you can do reversals and mirror image cards, however you'd want to interpret that in your readings. The book it comes with is pretty neat. It has lots of pictures of different things you can do with the deck.
And something I like to do is use it with other decks. In good lighting, you can place a transparent card on top of a card from another deck and see the image superimposed on it.. then have fun interpreting what that might mean.
