A book about color with hardly any figures and no use of color? This book is probably chock-full of great info, and I did get a few good tidbits out of it, but while it might entice the noble left-brained color-scientist, it went straight to the bottom of my reading pile, underneath all the art books with plenty of eye-candy.

there isn't a lot of actual color in this book. maybe the newer editions have more. sort of like a 1st gen iPod and a video iPod. or maybe an iPod Mini and a video iPod is a better comparison.

i am huge nerd for color theory.
