A must have for any Caithness collector,
By
This review is from: Caithness Paperweights (1st Edition) : The Charlton Standard Catalogue (Paperback)
Caithness PaperweightsAt last! The Standard Reference Book for Caithness Paperweights. This is the book for every Caithness paperweight collector. This catalog (524 pages) covers Caithness Glass Paperweights in Chronological order, from the Planets set issued in 1969 to the Millennium Collection released in 1999. Paperweights produced for the Caithness Glass Paperweight Collectors Society and those commissioned by businesses and museums are also included. You are bound to see some that you never knew existed. Each listing, accompanied by an illustration, provides the names of the paperweight, designer, date of issue, edition size, status, original and current values in US and Canadian dollars, and UK pounds. Prices are bound to change, especially with Internet access to dealers, collectors and sales. Information about the designers, suggestions on building a collection and information sources concerning Caithness Glass paperweights (and paperweights in general) is included. A listing of Collectors Clubs and Chapters around the world is in the front. As are factory shops, visitor centers and Internet customer enquiry addresses. Also included are Auction Houses, Antique Fairs and Collectible Shows. The most comprehensive resource guide to Caithness Paperweights. If you collect Caithness glass you need this book! My understanding is that if enough of us buy this book, the next edition will have more color pictures. As it is, most are in black and white. Still, the image quality is enough to stir the juices of any collector.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Useful, but some inaccuracies,
By Thomas Covenant, Unbeliever (Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Caithness Paperweights (1st Edition) : The Charlton Standard Catalogue (Paperback)
I find this reference to be very useful, particularly on eBay where many sellers start their bidding above retail price (and try to make it seem like a bargain). It's generally on the mark, though I have found several small inaccuracies (like pieces I own that are not in the book), and their "current valuation" is out of line with real pricing. The publisher has been pretty good about responding to my queries about errors I've found, though we'll have to see the 2nd edition to see if they fix them.I wish it were in color, but in the interest of making the book affordable, it has only a few color plates.
