I know that quite a few people in this forum have read extensively about Snuff from old books and sources.  

From the older books on snuff that you have read, what one, or two, or three were the most informative, and helpful to your over-all understanding of snuff?

There is a huge list of sources at this link:  http://www.top25snuff.com/dokumnety-tabaczane.html

You have to scroll down to get to the ones in English.  Just wanting your take on separating the wheat from the chaff.  I’m sure they are all interesting in their own way, but which few are absolutely indispensable?

Thank you for your help!

To put this in context, I’m putting together a book that will compile public domain materials on snuff tobacco, in one volume.  Its a personal project, but I’ll share the PDF of the finished product here at Snuffhouse for free.  There will also be a paperback and hardback version available basically at cost.  

I’m well on my way as far as compiling materials.  I was just throwing this out there, in case I had missed some materials that should be included.

Thanks!

Mark

Looking forward to reading your final piece

Thank you.

@markstinson: The books I use are mostly in Dutch or German, since the English literature hardly gives any recipes how to prepare snuffs.

Here are the ones I use:

and my favorite:

Tabakkultur. Tabak= und Zigarrenfabrikation, sowie Statistik des Tabakbaues, Tabkshandels und der Tabakindustrie mit besondere Berueksichtigung der im Handel vorkommenden Tabaksorten, Zubereitung und chemische Analyse, Verfaelschungen und Toxikologie des Tabakes, nebst einem Anhange enthaltend das deutsche Tabaksteuergesetsz vom 16. Juli 1879. von Ladislaus von Wagner,oeffentl. ordentl. Professor an der Koenigl. technischen Hochschule zu Budapest.

Which contains mostr of my “revived” recipes.

Jaap Bes.

That is cool.  Very cool.
