Paperback. Condition: Very good in wraps. First Edition. 24 x 30cm 182pp very good paperback. Bakelite was one of the first plastic-like materials to be introduced into the modern world and was popular because it could be molded and then hardened into any shape. Because of its electrical nonconductivity and heat-resistant proper…ties, it became a great commercial success. It was used in electrical insulators, radio and telephone casings, and such diverse products as kitchenware, jewelry, pipe stems, children's toys, and firearms. This monograph is a survey of bakelite objects based on the Becht Collection. Illustrated in colour. Edited by Rob Perree. With contributions by Perree, Percy Reboul, Sylvia Katz, Reyer Kras, Roland Barthes, Sebastian Lopez, Sumiko Kubo, L.H. Bakeland, and Paul Clark.
