Virginia, 

We have the "silver" version, which is much smaller, but still substantial weighing in at something like 60 pounds. 

Best, 

Julie

I remember getting a flyer advertising the Atlas around the time it came out. 

Does anybody know whether there's a copy in the Western US (in a public library maybe)? The pictures of the NSW copy with the library people surrounding it make a definite and impressive impression! 

I'm just curious, though. Does anybody know why it's only on display for a month? 

Thanks.
