Many years ago, when I was first scrambling for a foothold in the publishing industry, I was a customer service rep for the oh-so-stylish Chronicle Books. Answering phones all day was boring, but it was balanced by the best perk ever for a lover of design and print: We could take home any of the products.
Three new offerings from Chronicle almost make me wish I had that old job again. All are Pantone-branded, and two are journals. The cover of the Honeysuckle Journal sports Pantone’s color of the year for 2011. It measures 4-3/8″ x 6-1/4″ x 2-1/2″, costs $9.95, and has 192 pages. The Pantone Chips Journal, also $9.95 and 192 pages, has a lively multicolored cover. It measures 5″ x 7-1/8″.
Finally, the Pantone Postcards set contains 100 postcards, each a different hue from the Pantone library. At $19.95, that’s an inexpensive way to give an office punch or make a fellow color lover happy.
