..Yes, excactly. Let's look up some real-life objects' actual weights.

Tomes

The average weight of an 8x6 inch hardcover book is 1 lb., 15 oz..
That's just an ounce less than 2 pounds.

Melee Weapons

These weight estimates come from the Caid kingdom of the SCA, or
Society for Creative Anachronism. This group regularly participates
in large-scale mock battles using solely medieval gear and methods.
They forge their own things, and live for extended lengths of time
'in period,' as though it were still medieval times, in all aspects of
their lives.

The average weight of a medieval one-handed sword is 2 lbs., 7 oz..
The average weight of a medieval greatsword is 7lbs., 12 oz..

The average weight of a medieval mace is 3 lbs., 5 oz..
Axes are similar enough to maces that 'Club' is an Axe subtype here
in SL2.

The average weight of a medieval spear is 5 lbs., 15 oz..
