Pricing information and a detailed glossary are included. This important book belongs on the bookshelf of all paperweight enthusiasts, and will particularly appeal to all who are interested in glass production.Scottish Paperweights* and Old English Paperweights* are two more dedicated volumes on paperweights by Robert G.Hall.
