The Paperweight People

Books about paperweights

Maybe 50 books about paperweights have been written in the last 80 years. The authors reflected the understanding and extent of knowledge at the time of writing: further studies and research over the last 30 years have shown that there are significant errors and omissions in many of these earlier books - and even in some very recent ones! The older books make interesting reading, but they are not always reliable.
