I'm  looking  for  information on  colour  matching systems  used   by
printers.  Pantone is well-known; can someone point  me to information
on other systems?  Addresses for sources of information would  be very
useful too.  One final question---how can I get a Pantone colour book?

Thanks for any help.

Andrew

Any large art supply store (there are many in London) will sell you
either a Pantone catalogue, which will include a reduced Pantone color
set, or simply a Pantone color sampler, a stack of paper about 2"
thick with all the different Pantone colors classified and numbered.
