Daphne’s Reviews > Color: A Natural History of the Palette > Status Update

A book that's taken me so long to read, someone thought I was starting it over from the beginning.

I’m interested to see if my level of engagement with this book varies depending on the pigment I’m reading about — I feel a little distant from it right now and I can’t tell if it’s the material or the writing. I think the author has assumed a level of knowledge on my part about Aboriginal culture in Australia, and I don’t have that. A good starting point to learn more, but makes it hard to really dig into the book.
