The Bakelite Collection (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) Hardcover – September 18, 1997

I bought this as a gift and the recipient said it is a great book. Good pictures to help with identification.

Excellent reference book, in excellent condition. Shipped very quickly, received in only a few days.

A lovely book for all Bakelite lovers showing the collections of many serious collectors. Beautiful photography and interesting reading of how collectors started collecting this famous material. The only negative would be that I would have liked to see more examples of earrings and necklaces and some more rare pieces to demonstrate the beauty and versatility of Bakelite.

BAKELITE PORN.. is a book so full of amazing pictures, you lie awake thumbing through page after page imagining what it would be like to own such a treasure trove. Hold on to your dreams. while Bakelite is becoming harder and harder to find in an affordable (especially for the carved pieces) there are still stories of great pieces turning up at Garage sales or flea markets.it pays to know what you are looking at, how to test it, and develop an "eye" so that when you find that amazing piece, you saw it first and best from a great book resource.I love my bakelite books and this one is a great book for identification as well as plastic porn.

Great book with tons of photos.

I was so happy to get this book. The seller was very patient with me as I had a problem with my card. She updated me and made the transaction possible for me to get this great book.She went that extra step and I am pleased.

Book is full of beautiful colorful photographs, several collections are pictured. I like it very much. Bought this book used, excellent condition, great value. Only flaw, I thought there would be more of a individual discription of the Bakelite items, maker, age and value.

My girlfriend collects bakelite and she was delighted to find pieces she'd never seen before featured. Wasn't wild about the limited scope of collectors. Seems to be mostly one collection by a couple. Not sure I didn't read it my girlfriend did.
