Reviews
In a digital realm where everything can be found online, I still prefer analog methods. Matching colors to a real printed source always ensures that what I see is exactly what I'll get. Color Index XL will be one of those books in your library littered with post-it notes hanging out of the page edges looking like it's overdue for a good shave. And rightly so, it's because it's distinctly useful for the creative process, a tome of colorful insights you'll return to over and over again for years to come. Good books aren't meant to remain in mint condition, you'll use this reference a lot and eventually wear it out and that as Martha says is a good thing. -Von Glitschka, Creative Director of GlitschkaStudios.com
