Historical Color Guide

We don’t know Abbott Miller, so we hope he’ll forgive us for copying what he wrote about this book for Designers & Books. We couldn’t do a better job, and everyone knows that good booksellers borrow while great booksellers steal. Wait. That can’t be right. Anyway, here’s what he says: 

The author ingeniously distills the history of art into 30 amazing color sets such as “Indian,” or “Italian Renaissance,” and provides a one-page narrative for each. The “system” is so disarmingly broad and intuitive, but the magic of the book is that the colors the author chooses are mind-blowingly good. Small silk-screen chips show the color in proportionate quantities. Amazing. If you see this book at any price, buy it.
