 Stock is way too thinAug 11, 2010
By CT music fan

I almost gave this 3 stars. I'm that disappointed in the stock the guides are printed on. How much extra $$ would it have been to go with a heavier stock? This is too easy to crease. Packaging is good. I've posted closeups for anyone interested in the chromatic reordering (no flash used).

Pantone PlusSep 16, 2011
By michellange
As a designer, I don't quite get the numbering system, I've never taken the time to try to understand it. It is always a bit of a mystery. Visual people go by color so its a matter of marking the swatches with post-its so you can find them easily if you are matching or trying to choose the right one. Love the colors and consistency possible with these formulas.

 Stock Too Thin!May 17, 2011
By Ani
Very disappointing. Especially the fact that you still have to pay this much for a Pantone book. And now the paper is this thin? It's terrible. I was very tempted to return it except that I need it and am not sure if a thicker paper Pantone book is available. I doubt it. So we're just stuck with this? It's so thin that I'm afraid I'm going to rip it by just looking through the colors.
Also, the numbers are not in order at all. They used to be in order by color then number. Now it takes forever if your looking for a specific color.
I've been using Pantone books for 10+ years and was very excited to be able to get a new one. And all I can say is that I'm truly disappointed.

Flimsy card stockSep 28, 2011
By MEA

As others have stated the card stock is flimsy and you
would expect better quality for the amount of $ they
want for this. However I found Amazon had the best price.

Needs thicker paperApr 15, 2011
By Scott
A lot of people don't like the new chromatically organized colors. I find that it definitely helps with choosing colors, but slows you down a little when looking for a specific color number. There is an index in the back that helps you look up colors. It tells you which page to look on. This adds a little time to finding the color you need, but not too much.
My only complaint is that the paper is very thin. I feel like I am going to rip the paper ever time I use the book. I know I will have to break out the scotch tape in the near future.
