The Collector's Guide to Paperweights  
By Sara Rossi 

This is a good introduction to the subject of collecting fine glass paperweights.  The emphasis is on antique weights from France, Britain and the US.  Only a short section discusses modern weights.  A short buyer's guide is included which discusses what makes a paperweight valuable.  This is not a price guide.
