«Bakelite Style» is the collecting guide edited by Tessa Clark, published by Book Sales in hardback (224 pages, in English).
The book addresses Bakelite as a material: its history, its technical applications, and its influence on everyday design. It explains how to recognise it and distinguish it from other plastics, how to value pieces such as jewellery, radios, and lamps, and shows examples in colour photographs. It includes advice on collecting, restoring, and preserving these pieces.
Originally published in 1997. The content is framed within antique collecting, with special attention to jewellery and kitchen utensils.
A reference work for collectors and enthusiasts of Bakelite, as well as for fans of vintage design.
