Among European editors, the British definitely mastered the art of book editing and printing. This beautifully designed book has a page or more for the history of each colour.
Our relationship with colours is, to a significant degree, an unconscious one. We may have one or two preferred ones, but do we know the history or meaning behind them? This book, written from a Northern European perspective, contains a fascinating array of anecdotes from our cultural history and its global ramifications.
Entertaining and visually appealing, this book makes an excellent gift for anyone interested in visuals, history, or fashion. Or the lover of beautifully designed books, every one of us has in our group of peers.
