Color Index XL by Jim Krause Book Review




I was excited to get this book for my daughter who is involved in the film industry. She is always editing videos. I have also done ceramic for many years. Jim Krause has over 1, 100 color Palettes and has HD colors with CMYK and RGB. You will find light, bright, dark and a variety of muted colors. The edge of the page has edge indexing for quick access.  


This is a very handy book,  especially for anyone who is a designer, artist or like to look at colors.

Martha Stewart's Slow Cooker Book Review

This is another wonderful cookbook by Martha Stewart.  Inside this book is pages of wonderful recipes for your slow cooker.

I love cooking in my crock-pot and am always looking for new recipes In this book I found a large variety of different meal ideas.

There are 7 different sections - meat, poultry, seafood, meatless, side dishes, breakfast, sweets, and stocks & sauces.

Each section has wonderful color illustrations, and simple instructions.  I like it because not every recipe calls for ingredients I have never heard of.  

Another great cookbook from Martha Stewart!
