Still Totally worthless

July 16, 2006

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

When I first saw this book, I almost fell out of my chair from laughing so hard. But it would not have been funny if I had spent my money on the book. This must be someone's idea of a sick joke (by someone who knows they can make a quick buck by suckering someone into buying this). A COLOR GUIDE IS TOTALLY WORTHLESS REPRINTED IN GREYSCALE!!!

Update 2013...encouraged by a reports of this now being in COLOR (imagine that, a COLOR guide in COLOR!), I ordered it again. Well, this is still the same B&W junk that I got in 2006. SHAME ON YOU AMAZON, YOU ARE SELLING CRAP THAT CLAIMS TO BE A FACSIMILE OF THE ORIGINAL, BUT IT IS NOT. AMAZON STOP RIPPING PEOPLE OFF.

excellent product -- full color plates

June 30, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This product arrived on time, in good condition and as advertised by the seller. After reading several reviews where purchasers complained of receiving a version of this book with grey-scale images, I was pleased to find all the plates were in color, just as advertised.

My copy was 43 pages with no color plates, not even black and white ones. -Disappointed.

BEWARE OF USED COPIES

June 7, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

My used copy proved absolutely useless. As other reviewers have noted, apparently many copies of this "facsimile" of a famous book on colors were printed (very poorly at that) in black and white! I just received a "very good" used copy from Amazon's inventory that was one of these -- so of course I am returning it. The cover of my copy was different from those shown on this page; it displayed a color image of a seashore with sailing ships in the upper right hand corner. It said on the copyright page that it was a "NABU Public Domain Reprint". BEWARE!

Shades of Gray Standards and Shades of Gray Nomenclature

January 11, 2006

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The text in this reprint of Ridgway's classic appears to be a facsimile copy of the original. The original's color plates have been reproduced as photographs in shades of gray. This totally defeats the purpose of the book.

Unless, of course, renegade nanobots escape from the lab and turn the world into grey goo. Should that happen, this book is perfect. Otherwise, it is worthless.

Seriously, the description of this book ought to clearly indicate that it does not include any color plates or color reproductions of the original color plates.

Buyer beware.

Warned by old reviews saying 'the color plates are gray or non-existent', but encouraged by new ones saying 'excellent product', 'my copy is in color', we ordered the book (http://www.amazon.com/Color-Standards-And-Nomenclature/dp/B009Y86QRK/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t) for the local natural history museum in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. It was shipped (rushed) to a colleague in Virginia who was traveling to Bolivia and we eagerly received it last week at the museum... What a disappointment!!! there is nothing printed in color, we can't use this to describe bird plumage or mammal fur, and we spent almost 30 $ in it. More than 'a joke', 'worthless', etc. it seems fraud to me. I can't believe that Amazon would sell this product. Please, stop these con-publishers.

This book is a joke

January 24, 2010

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

As others noted, this is a book about color that is printed in black and white. One review says that this book is now available with the color, but I just got this and didn't get any color. The copying is so bad that you can't even read some of the color names.
