Hi Nick.
Simple answer on the existence of a Murano paperweight book (good or otherwise) - not that I know of.
I have been trying to pull some information together with my Murano project on the website, but dating examples is very difficult. Unless people have catalogues, or images that were taken at a known date, or cast iron provenance of the purchase date in Murano, then it is all a bit vague.
I suspect your paperweight is a little more modern that you suggest - ie 1960s to 1970s.
