This is a rare, early important book, by the leading paperweight authority in the early years of the paperweight revival. It was profusely illustrated with 360 black and white photos and eight color plates. Each paperweight, many very rare and not seen elsewhere, is fully described. This book itself is a collector’s item, as desirable as many of the weights it includes.
