New in Paperback! "Color Management" shows how to implement color as a practical form of problem solving.

Sensitivity of pigments to light and air and the stability of inks are also detailed, as is the human factor, through issues of color legibility and the physical and psychological effects of color. In its depth and breadth, it is a unique body of information.

Cecil Beaton: The Art of the Scrapbook

As one of the 20th century's most important photographers, Cecil Beaton documented lives both famous and quotidian in dozens of scrapbooks now held by Sotheby's London. In the course of his decades-long career as a photographer for Vogue and Vanity Fair, as well as a British war correspondent, Beaton helped invent the cult of the celebrity image. In these pages, reproduced here for the first time, you will enter a fabulous and surreal party where Tallulah Bankhead rubs shoulders with a bust of Voltaire and a portrait of Stravinsky, and where Beaton's first trip on the Queen Mary coincides with Queen Elizabeth's coronation.
