Best general reference.,
This review is from: The Art of the Paperweight (Hardcover)
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.
