I couldn't ask for a better reference ~ except wishing for an update from '97 until production ceased. This book is the most complete I've seen. Individual detailed descriptions include Perthshire's ID number, and many explanatory comments. The quality of the photographs is clear, crisp, and colors are true to actual weights. Most importantly, photos are large enough to show small details. Even if you never intend to buy a paperweight, this book is fascinating, educational and beautiful. Forty pages provide general information and 155 pages describe and illustrate the paperweights. There is a hardcover version, but the quality of this softcover, with its glossy paper, is certainly all I could ever need. I highly recommend this book for experienced collectors ~ and it is essential for novices!
An absolute must have for both the novice and skilled collector of glass paperweights made from important factories. An inexpensive source of infinate knowledge about the Perthshire Paperweight company.
You will not find a more complete book on Perthshire. Every single general range, limited and annual edition and permutation is included as are some specials and one-of-a-kinds through 1997. There are also identification tips.The cover of this book is mesmerizing with all of those canes.Keep your eyes peeled, I understand a supplemental is in the works. I will be first in line to buy it.
A fairly comprehensive and interesting little book,like new.
