A unique book with many fine reproductions of snuff containers in varicoloured gold and silver, ivory, shell, horn and precious woods and stones from the collections of the author and from museums in the US and abroad.  Easily readable and includes a surprising amount of curious, intriguing and little known information about snuff, eminent snuffers and tobacco.

Dust jacket is in acceptable condition with a large piece missing to front and some to rear.  Red boards with gilt titles are in good condition with light bumps to edges as per photos. Internal pages are clean and unmarked other than what appears to be an ink smudge to margins of pages that occurred during printing.
