Snowdomes: The Essential Founding Father

Charles Foster Kane was holding one when he died. You've seen them in souvenir shops wherever you travel, and you've probably owned a few yourself. They're the mesmerizing water-filled globes that simulate winter snowfall, and dozens of them are on display in this unique catalogue. In addition to their traditional use as paperweights, snowdomes have also been fashioned as banks, pencil sharpeners, swizzle sticks, and even salt-and-pepper shakers. Here they are, thoroughly charming and nostalgic. 250 illus., 200 in color. 96p.
