Rating:  Summary: Haven't yet used this but Review: Haven't yet used this book, but it looks as if it will be a very useful tool in choosing colours for printed layouts and knowing that what I choose will be what gets printed.
Rating:  Summary: Very useful! Review: I found this book at the library. Now I must have a copy of my own. It is more of a tool than a book though. There are pages and pages of colour grids but not much else. I used it more than my pantone swatches. It is a great tool for colour accuracy, but not really for inspiration. Everything I've used it for has turned out exactly as I expected. A very worthwhile purchase!
Rating:  Summary: Indispensable (and affordable, too) Review: I lost this book due to our recent earthquake, and here I am ordering it again already. This manual is really indispensable in specifying process builds and is an unbelievable bargain for what it offers. It's more accurate than the 1999 Pantone Process book and is way more accurate than relying on a software's spot-to-process conversions. Don't guess or hope -- use this book and get the color you want!
Rating:  Summary: This book is awesome... Review: I wish I knew about this book sooner. It is cheaper than getting a pantone cmyk book, and just as useful...if not more. I just got back from a proof check with a printer, and there were no surprises. It is always by myside now as I tackle numerous cmyk print projects. I only wish there was an index of some sort. I ended up creating my own color index database on my palm handheld to save time when looking for a specific mix within the book. Anyway...this book is way better than blindly picking colors on your computer screen and hoping for the best.

Rating:  Summary: Not as useful as I hoped Review: The book provides a lot of colors, ya! For a more useful tool, choose a book featuring color combinations. Try "Color Index" by Jim Krause.

Rating:  Summary: Confusing! Review: The color combinations are very comprehensive. However, I found the methodology used in organizing the color grids extremely confusing, and not very practical. I purchased this book to replace a well-used process color manual given to me by a printer 15 years ago. I'm disappointed, as I had high hopes from the description.
Rating:  Summary: Process Color Manual, 24,000 CMYK Combinations for Design, P Review: This book has no color theory whatsoever. What a waste of money!
