The Bakelite Collection (A Schiffer Book for Collectors)

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.

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.

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.

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.

A good book and very informative. I have enjoyed this book along with the several others I have ordered from Amazon. Always my book store. Thanks

Great book with tons of photos.

I bought this book to learn about Bakelite, to get an idea of prices and for bakelite other than jewelry. If you are looking for a book with a lot of pretty color pictures of jewelry, this book is for you. For my needs, there was only 4 pages that I found useful.

The definitive book for collectors of Art Deco Bakelite wearable items. Fabulous photos & lots of good information.
