Great book on color!!

I just bought my third copy of this book because I keep giving it away. The book is full of interesting bits of information about color. It is somewhat technical, but not too heavy.
The world of color phenomena in a little book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I discovered the first edition of this book as an undergraduate, and 10 years later I still possess the eight pages I photocopied. The writing is simple, and detailed enough to please a scientist. The line drawings are illustrate without clutter. The book is not light-weight reading, but skimps on the math so artists can read it w/o distraction.
