Classic Paperweight Reference,

This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Glass Paperweights (Paperback)
If I were abandoned on a desert island with only one paperweight reference book, it would be this one. While is it certainly shows its publishing date and does not have some of the pretty color pictures of more contemporary works, it is redeemed over and over by its scope and breadth of coverage that few other reference books can match. There are a few places where more modern scholarship might have come to differing conclusions but that is the nature of all study and research.
This reference book should be part of any collector's library and represents such a small investment for its lasting value and broad coverage of paperweights and their makers.

Paperweight Reference Book,

This review is from: Encyclopedia Of Glass Paperweights (Hardcover)
My bookshelf is stuffed with paperweight reference books. Whenever I have a question, this book comes out.
Sure, some of the information has changed through the years; but, this book is what laid the foundation for a lot of our recent discoveries and findings. This book is a must have for any paperweight collector.

This review is from: The encyclopedia of glass paperweights, (Hardcover)
This book I would consider the best in identifying the antique and mid-century paper weight. Tho dated it still holds your interest with images and facts on the subject.
