While the book color by Sheila Metzner ISBN 0-944092-15-2 published by
Twin Palms Press in 1991 is a beautiful book you should also check out
Objects of Desire by Sheila Metzner ISBN 0-517-56234-0 published by
Polaroid in 1986 and i believe that that companies products have a
strong bearing on the final coloration and i think the illustrations are
better in this book than colors from a true Metzner affectionado.
