review 1: I was at the Junior High Library's book sale when this book caught my eye. I tried to talk myself out of buying it. If you, dear reviewer of books, saw my bookshelf who would understand. However on the last day of the book sale, I broke down and bought it. I don't regret that decision at all. It is full of information on a wide range of subjects. The book is broke down by a color and how that color's importance is history, culture, etc. That is followed by a large natural science chapter that talks about how color plays apart in the world. I learned a great deal from this book. I would recommend it especially if you're a teacher for your classroom library. My only complaint about the book is that the chapters on colors were short. However those are the parts I liked best s... moreo maybe that has something to do with it.
review 2: Most of this book was very, very interesting. The format and design is also wonderful. I found the little icons hidden at the beginning of each color chapter charming, though.I love how this book covers so many different areas of knowledge and links it all back to color. It is a really good read.However, there were way too many mistakes in this to be rated a 5. There were little typos more than a few times, and a whole paragraph and some ended up being repeated, messing up the format of that section. Also, some of the photos were blurrier or of lower quality than some of the other photos, which was kind of weird.But for the most part, this has to be one of the most informative and unique books I have ever read. less
