It’s a big call … I’m not sure I’m quite ready to make it … but let’s just say I was FORCED to choose my favourite book from my collection, this would be it.

my favourite book
‘Colour – Travels through the Paintbox‘ by Victoria Finlay.
You can see by the state of the tome that it has been well-read and much-borrowed. I and my friends are all very careful with books – so the wear isn’t out of disrespect but out of love.
There are so many reasons for my love for this book: the content of course, but also the memories of when I bought it (by ‘accident’ on the first day of a week-long holiday in the north of Scotland) and of when I was reading it.
It is the perfect holiday book. Every artist, especially those interested in the history of colour, would get something from reading it.
I was so pleased you lent it to me – perfect for my trip to the desert. Now looking for my own copy…Thank you for sharing such a fascinating and thought-provoking book!
My pleasure! It brings me joy to share the love of this book.
Ok I’m convinced…Now on my xmas wishlist!
Hi – thanks for the recommendation of Colour on your blog. I’m delighted. Happy New Year.
Hi Victoria
What a pleasure to see your comment!
I’m so pleased you’ve seen first hand how much your book is loved.
Best wishes
Karen
