Written by “Mr. Paperweight”, Paul Jokelson, arguably the most influential person involved with paperweights in the twentieth century, this book is a classic. Having at the time traveled extensively to see fine weights around the world Paul documented those he thought were the most important. Each weight is illustrated in color on its own page with the opposing page devoted to a caption and description. Almost half a century later one is still amazed at the beauty and range of the chosen paperweights.
