5.0 out of 5 stars
A Great Design Tool
This is not an educational book. It is a wonderful design tool. A must have for any serious graphic designer.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Mostly fluff with little useful information
This is another example of the kind of book anyone with a page layout program and Photoshop could whip up in a day or so. Just type in a few paragraphs of generalities then take some photos and layout a template to build 130 pages of color variations. A rather disappointing purchase.

A complete lack of a learning experience,

This review is from: Duotones, Tritones, and Quadtones: A Complete Visual Guide to Enhancing Two-,Three-, and Four-Color Images (Paperback)
Just as the initial reviewer, Jean-Philippe Gay indicated, there is not a lot of information in this book. There is much more information how to handle duotones, etc in some older and new books about Adobe's Photoshop than in this one. I should have listened to Mr.Gay but I made the mistake to buy it. A really disappointing experience and no learning opportunity !

Good book, wish there was more meat to it,
By CT music fan "ctmusicfan" (Stamford, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Duotones, Tritones, and Quadtones: A Complete Visual Guide to Enhancing Two-,Three-, and Four-Color Images (Paperback)
As a graphic designer, I use this book to pick duotones, monotones, and tritones from when I'm working in Photoshop. I trust a printed sample of a tone to be more accurate than what my screen gives me (no, I don't have calibration tools) so for me, the dozen or so pages at the back of the book with 4 color breakdowns is helpful. The preceding pages are not as they fail to identify what PMS or spot color is being used. Every other designer that I've shown this book to feels the same way.
Great idea for a book but poor execution.
