THE book for the beginning Bakelite collector!, 4 May 2000
By jeffsdate "jeffsdate" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bakelite Jewelry: Good, Better, Best (Schiffer Craft Book) (Hardcover)
I am a total novice who is just starting to learn about Bakelite jewelry, and even though this book is expensive, it's the best one I've seen and well worth the money. (I also have Tony Grasso's book but don't think it's quite as helpful.) Not only does Wasserstrom's book have loads of beautiful color photos (hence the high price), but it is VERY clear and answers every single question that has occurred to me about Bakelite. It is just loaded with valuable and easy-to-reference information. (Like charts about which styles correspond to which dates, the differences between Bakelite and other types of plastics, etc.) My only tiny complaint is there's no index (true of the Grasso book also). If you're interested in learning about or collecting Bakelite, buy this book!

Bakelite Jewelry by Wasserman review, 26 Mar 2007
By Sandra L. "owner, Foxfire Vintage Jewelry" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bakelite Jewelry: Good, Better, Best (Schiffer Craft Book) (Hardcover)
This is a very good book for collectors of bakelite. There are lots of pictures of unusual and creative bakelite jewelry that is so hard to value. The pictures are big and easy to see and most include dates which is so important. I especially like the big collection of crib toy brooches that are not often seen. Most of the pieces are from the 1920's, 30s and 40s. None are from the more modern bakelite designers. Still, it is a rich reference for early bakelite jewelry.

Bakelite Jewelry: Good * Better * Best, 22 Jun 2010
By bakelite babe "babe" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bakelite Jewelry: Good, Better, Best (Schiffer Craft Book) (Hardcover)
The book is excellent, well illustrated and easy to read.
Terrible packing by Amazon - just loose in a large box, so the corners of the book got damaged! Have sent messages to Amazon on many occasions about this sort of thing but it makes no difference!
Listmania!
