<p>“There is a tremendous appearance change to the third edition, color has spread throughout the 12 chapters of the new edition of Rolf Kuehni’s Color: An Introduction to Practice and Principles , rather than being relegated to a four-sheet insert as it was in the 2nd edition. . . All in all, if you have a choice, do not settle for an earlier edition, get the new one.”  (<i>Color Research and Application</i>, 21 May 2013)</p> <p> </p>
