This was another victim of my shelf purge. I bought it years ago, never touched it, finally flipped through it while deciding whether or not it warranted the space it was taking up. Ridiculously, for a book on color, there's no color! There are a few color plates in the back. That's it. I don't understand how you can discuss color throughout the whole book and not have any examples for the reader to look at. That's like introducing Bach's works by showing the sheet music -- to someone who doesn't read notes. I'm getting rid of this.
