Rossi
"A Collector's Guide to Paperweights
allows everyone from the general reader... to the expert... to tread
more confidently through the complex and sometimes treacherous trading
world, and to focus clearly on the best, finest, and most collectable
paperweights available.
In addition, it furnishes the reader with a sound
historical perspective on the great paperweight manufacturers and the
work they created, as well as offering professional advice on building,
maintaining and displaying a collection, and buying and selling at the
right price.
The guide has been devised by a leading authority
from Spink and Son in London - one of the world's largest dealers in
paperweights, silver, coins, and other art objects."

Sulphides
the Art of Cameo Incrustation
- by Paul
Jokelson
The history of sulphides, one of the oldest and
most fascinating of all paperweight styles, is chronicled and explored
in this well-researched book by paperweight scholar and historian Paul
Jokelson.
A "Sulphide" is a glass object (most often a
paperweight or marble) with a vitreous ceramic relief encased within.
This ceramic inclusion gives the appearance of a cameo. Usually white
or off-white, these cameo reliefs may also be multicolored, or even
metallic.
This book pictures the finest examples of sulphide
marbles, paperweights, buttons, placques, vases, and other glass
objects from all over the world.
It includes chapters on the makers of sulphides,
including Baccarat, Clichy, and St. Louis. It covers English and
Scottish makers, other European producers, and includes a section on
"modern" sulphides (circa 1968).

Josh
Simpson Glass Artist - by Andrew Chaikin
We also have this book on our Glass Artists
'shelf', but included it here because of Josh's incredible "Worlds".
Rooted in the art of the paperweight, his "worlds" have evolved into

Like Josh Simpson's 'worlds', Paul Stankard's
incredible lampworked glass creations started out in the form of
paperweights, but have gone way beyond the limitations of the round
form typified by most weights.
