5.0 out of 5 stars I'm all about the removable chips, November 10, 2008

Since Pantone has a monopoly on the color printing market, my purchase was a 'pick your poison' exercise. I prefer the book layout to the skinny fan option for a couple of reasons.
1. It's much easier to find and remove the perforated chip for color matching purposes than it is to hold up the fan version and shield your eyes from the other colors.
2. If I need to send a customer a variety of chips for display purposes, the only practical option is to have a removable chip book, unless you want to give away your fan book every time.

Wow! I purchased this along with Pantone "Essentials" - a little suitcase of chip sets - for $543. It was delivered along with promotional information for the ALL-NEW color system, called Goe. Ouch!
