The Power of Color: Creating Healthy Interior Spaces

Summary: The Power of a Large Publisher...to charge high prices
Review: I can't believe I paid $.. for this book! The color photos and appendix essay by Jain Malkin are definitely worthwhile, but the authors' text is an incoherent smattering of classic color theory, new age energy theory, and unreferenced, out-of-context statements such as: (yellow) "is the one color most associated with the yellowing or aging of the skin" (p 21). Hello?? The bibliography and references are hit-or-miss, so it is not even a good source of published literature.

Rating:
Summary: A good subject, but not good value.
Review: It would have made a good magazine article, but for that price it should have had more content. I agree with the premise, but they made one point and filled with an appendix, references and lots of double spacing. The Donald Kaufman books are better for information on decoration. And Frank Mahnke's Color, Environment, and Human Response is better for information on color.
