Fills a gap,
By A Customer
This review is from: Paperweights (Hardcover)
This book covers gaps in the literature in other books. For example the coverage of Scandinavian weights and English studio artists of the 1980's is very good. It helped me identify an attractive abstract weight with a semi-legible scratch signature. The one drawback is that the book is not in idiomatic British or American English. There are some "mystery sentences" that even the context does not explain.
