 Hi Adrian,

Thanks for posting this on the forum for the benefit of others.

I am familiar with the "quartz silica" book, as it was my second book on snuff bottles, purchased at Hugh Moss's gallery on Bruton Street in 1972! My first book was of course Lilla Perry's classic tome.

I had no idea that the 7-volume set of the Bloch Collection weighed 38kg. Did you actually weigh them?   Shocked

Tom
