Wonderful resource

This book is a wonderful resource on paperweights and for paperweight collectors. It is enlightening and provides information about paperweights.

Best general reference.

For the newcomer to paperweights, this book is the one. Antique and modern paperweights are covered as are the production and history and identification tips. The photography is superb and the book itself is beautiful with its linen cover and thick glossy pages. It's a little spendy but worth it.

The classic reference text on paperweights

A beautiful book full of glorious colour pictures and information. Excellent details and pictures of how paperweights are made. Historical details about paperweight making in France, Italy, Bohemia, England, the USA, plus pictures and information about contemporary paperweight artists.
