Review
[Blue] will please even those eyes denied the good luck of being blue.
Blue is both prettily produced and whimsically enjoyable.
[This is] territory that could be . . . absurdly specialized. To [Pastoureau's] credit, the tour is brisk and challenging.
[This is] a coffee table book that is also a good read. Not just a good read, but a compelling read.
Blue is confident, stylish, well-turned out. The book's sapphire glow will grace the most discriminating coffee tables.J

Beguiling and beautiful mixture of art book and social history. . . . Shows how the rarest of all colors became the commonest.
