Here is a beautiful copy of a great reference to collecting paperweights.  It includes modern glass creations as well as paperweights going back to the 19th century.  Paperweights seem to be one more essential desk top necessities when paper work was the rule.  Now papers are increasingly found "in the cloud" so paperweights are increasingly becoming decorative antiques of past generations.  In this Very Fine to NEW condition book, in its original dust jacket, you will see paperweights in all their colorful beauty!
