Review: AS GOOD AS EXPECTED! - The product arrived well protected, in good packaging and just what I had expected. I used to need these on a day-to-day basis in another career and would need new ones every other year, they got used so much. I only need the Pantone guide a few times a year and I expect these two guides to last me a long while.
Review: Content is good but the display of the product is very thin - Supplier: fast shipping and in good condition upon arrival. The Product Itself: Many colours to choose from however the paper the Pantone's are printed on is so thin! When you look to find a colour quickly, you're scared that it's going to rip lol!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Content is good but the display of the product is very thin
*by A***R on February 7, 2016*

Supplier: fast shipping and in good condition upon arrival. The Product Itself: Many colours to choose from however the paper the Pantone's are printed on is so thin! When you look to find a colour quickly, you're scared that it's going to rip lol!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for any screen printer.
*by M***K on September 16, 2015*

Awesome little books. A must have for any screen printer. Will last you years, you don't need to update every time a new book comes out. Newer books just have additional PMS numbers. It is super rare a customer would use a newer Pantone number anyway. Thanks X-Rite!
