The bakelite collection
by Matthew L. Burkholz
9X12 inches, approx 242 pages book focuses on various collections of bakelite and the personalities that accrued the collections. The book begins with the requisite history of bakelite. Chock full of pictures, it profiles 12 collectors in the US and shows an amassing of the objects they collect. (focus is on jewelry) After that, the pictures are essentially eye porn with each collection further broken down to show the most unique or exquisite or most loved pieces. Very beautiful book. All the pictures are in color and the details are stunning. This is definitely a resource book but also a fun book for those who love bakelite and want an idea of just how far other collections go and what may be out there to plunder.
