Dear Mr. Barker - E.C.Wharton-Tigar 1962 and on.....

As I understand it the collection is stored in a warehouse and not at the British Museum. I believe, however, that with advance registration it can be viewed. These viewing times last I heard are extremely limited though.

Thanks for the information. Would definitely enjoy seeing it.

I found Burning Bright a very enjoyable read. Wharton-Tigar had an amazing life. World corporations and business, World War II, spying, diamond syndicates, cold war activities, card collecting, and much more... the book is a reader's delight. There aren't lots of copies out there, what I was told was that DeBeers diamond people bought up many copies to minimize the public's access to the book. Wharton-Tigar signed many of the ones that are out there.

Thanks to Leon!
