Tom Fraser, Adam Banks - Designers Color Manual

Three stars. Solid and enjoyable.

Not really a manual, and I'm not sure how much experienced designers will learn from it. I bought it because I have not formal design training, and wanted an introduction to colour theory. This book covers a lot of ground, from colour in paintings and print, to use of Photoshop and the web, but it's not very deep. With its many short, easily digestible sections, it has highlighted plenty of areas that interest me and that I'd like to know more about, and has given me starting points for when I have time to examine these areas in more depth.
