This is a beautifully constructed encyclopedia of colorants, with short stories and histories of each subject. I enjoyed reading it for pleasure and it provided much-needed context for my historical research. Working out of my home, I don’t have easy access to these colorants. This book helped fill in the gaps of my understanding and helped me feel like I shared the vision of those I researched.
