LIFE IN COLOR, a new book of National Geographic photographs, was released this month — and it’s a stunner. Curated by Annie Griffiths, the 245 photographs “showcase the kaleidoscope of colors in the world,” as the official press release puts it. Each chapter focuses on a particular color (11 in all — the standard nine, plus gold and silver) and includes a short essay on the color’s connotations, while pairing each image with inspirational quotes.
At 504 pages, LIFE IN COLOR retails for $40, which seems like a bargain — since this book can offer endless enjoyment — and is currently available on Amazon.com for $26.40 (with free shipping). What a great holiday gift — think I’ll add it to the Silver Birch Press favorite things list (yes, Oprah, all our choices have cultural significance!).
