A quick check of the RLIN database reveals the following title, which I
suspect is the one Dan Shapiro referred to. I did find a slight variation
on the title, same ISBN number:
Colors from the Earth : the artists' guide to collecting, preparing, and
using them / by Anne Wall Thomas. -- New York : Van Nostrand Reinhold, c1980.
96 p., [2] leaves of plates : ill. (some col.) ; 24 cm.
ISBN 0442257864 : $9.00 (est.)
[or:]
Colors from the Earth : the preparation and use of native Earth pigments / by
Anne Wall Thomas. New York : Van Nostrand Reinhold, [1980]
96 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
ISBN 0442257864 : 9.00 (est.)
Unfortunately, the title is no longer in print. If your library doesn't
have a copy, ask your librarian about inter-library loan.
