A fantastic foray into the history of painting pigments across the spectrum, divided into short, lucid descriptions of history, composition, and interesting notes. Well illustrated with artwork highlighting each pigment.
This is the book version of the wonderful video shorts on the same theme posted to the Jackson's Art account on Instagram.
This would make a great coffee table book, or for reading in brief installments. For example, I read about a few pigments daily while waiting on the kettle to boil.

An enchanting short tale full of subtleties. This is another story that adds depth to one of the characters (Bast) from Patrick Rothfuss main series, The Kingkiller Chronicle.

This charming book is like reading the mythology of an ancient fantasy world. I have to agree with the person who suggested I try something from Tanith Lee: she is under-rated and too little known.
