A fun read but Wasserstrom book was more helpful for me

Great pictures and pleasant, friendly tone, but no price information and just generally not a good practical reference. This book has more narrative (the story of Bakelite, what the collecting world is like, the author's personal experiences, etc.) -- as opposed to the Wasserstrom book which has more practical how-tos. Grasso's book mentions the famous "Philadelphia bracelet" but then doesn't bother to show you a picture of one! And I think there was little if any mention of Galalith and other Bakelite-type products, and how to tell the difference.

Well written, informative book. Great pictures. Terrific for the beginning collector as well as a seasoned bakelite hunter. Highly recommended. Mr. Grasso has a fun, easy to read style.

This book has more pictures of bakelite in one book than all the books on bakelite that I have ever seen. It is truely a God send for every Bakelite Collector.

The first time I saw this book was on a recent Bakelite hunt in Italy. The wonderful colors and unusual piece on the cover caught my attention right away. The book gives the begining collector the information needed to tell the difference between bakelite and other plastics, by smell, touch and sound. It also gives information other books forget-how to find it, buy it, and then take care of it once it's yours. Tony Grasso makes bakelite collecting a fun and enjoyable hobbie for all ages. I have bought a second copy of this book for my teenage daughter who has now caught the "Bakelite Bug". If I had seen this book on Amazon before going to Europe, I would have not purchased the book in Italy and carried it half way around the world!
