This is a book for someone interested in the art of letter writing, collaboration, writing, painting/drawing...and simply being in the world and seeing.

This book is too big to carry in your pocket--not just because of its physical size, but due to its conceptual weight and the attention it pulls away from what you're supposed to be doing. If a book can be a friend (and I think it can be) this is one of those you want to have with you, talk and listen to because it helps you see what More...

A book as a work of art. I waited a long time to get this now out-of-print book, a visual and written record of a correspondence between John Berger and his friend, artist John Christie, on the topic of color. If I could only have one book for the rest of eternity, this would be on my short list.

It's a different way of looking at color, and a correspondence between two men (two friends/artists). Hard to explain beyond that - it's kind of a synaesthesia-like approach ... some of the quotes really stick with a person. "Color is troubled light."
