  • Thank you! This book is practically new! I love goodwill! I'd rather not buy new books if I can avoid it. I'm happy to bring boxes of books to goo

    Thank you! This book is practically new! I love goodwill! I'd rather not buy new books if I can avoid it. I'm happy to bring boxes of books to goodwill so someone else can enjoy them. Plus, they really helped me out last time when I moved - too much stuff! Where does it all come from? I wish more people would bring things to goodwill rather than put belongings in storage lockers or add to our landfills. If you're storing things in a locker, that means you don't need them!

  • Surprisingly captivating!

    Surprising how much history has gone into this book, and I have been compelled to further research points of history for further depth into the personalities and points of history. Easy just to read about just a few colors at a time and ponder. Good stuff for any lover of color, design, history and/or art.

  • The secret lives of color

    After seeing the movie The Pearl Earring the subject of pigment for art work intrigued me. The Secret Lives of Color answered the question of source as well as socioeconomic impact. I enjoyed every color's story.
