That is a good price for this indispensable reference set. I paid $280 for my set nearly 20 years ago!

I got 2 sets for free. Jimmy Li gave me one set in NYC, and in London in 1995, I was cheeky and asked if I could have a second copy for my other home. My NYC copy in 1993 was autographed by the late Victor Graham with a sweet dedication; and the second in London in 1995, was autographed and inscribed by Jimmy Li (in Portuguese!), Victor Graham, and Hugh Moss.
Best,
Joey

Just purchased this from Amazon for £160. Was looking at this auction but with postage and customs wouldn't be such a good deal for me. Excited about receiving my new book...  Grin

These two volumes cover one of the finest snuff bottle collections of the 20th century, with in-depth commentary from three experts on every type of bottle. OK, the Bloch books arguably cover more, but that is seven volumes as opposed to two.
Congratulations on a most worthwhile purchase!

Dear 'Pookles' (?),

     That is a bargain price for that.
Best,
