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

Subject: Mammoth atlas redux
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.
