I purchases the 60 picec set, but there was no instruction in the package. Can I download it somewhere?

There are no instructions. There isn't a set design to build. Let your child's imagination run wild and he/she will amaze you with what he/she can create.

are these unfinished wood (preferable) or do they have some sort of laquer or finish on them?

They seem to be smooth, but unfinished.....no lacquer finish

what are the block size?

The square block is 2 3/4 inches by 2 3/4 inches and 1 5/8 inches thick. The rectangle block is 2 3/4 inches by 5 1/2 inches and 1 5/8 inches thick . All the rest can be figured out from there. They are a nice size block made of heavy wood. Not light and scrawny like other children's blocks I have seen. These will last forever! You will be passing these blocks down to your grandchildren and beyond...

are the children in the picture playing with the 60 piece set or do they have more?

I'd say they may have a few more, but there are a really good amount to build with in 6o. The photo looks like there is a large flat one on top in the back, which I don't have, so there may be extras in the photo. If you start to count them you can see there are approx. 60-70 in the photo. They are wonderful, and bigger than I expected. Hefty.
