This book chronicles the important paperweight collection built by Mrs. Edward Laurence Doheny in the early years of the twentieth century. It describes and illustrates, in color, over 100 items from the collection, which over half a century later was sold at auction. This is a very rare book, as it was printed in a small edition, for supporters of the two seminaries where the collection was displayed. It was not sold to the public and only a few copies are in paperweight collectors' libraries.
