One of USA Today's "100 Books to Read While Stuck at Home During the Coronavirus Crisis" A dazzling gift, the unforgettable, unknown history of colors and the vivid stories behind them in a beautiful multi-colored volume. "Beautifully written . . . Full of anecdotes and fascinating research, this elegant compendium has all the answers." --NPR, Best Books of 2017 The Secret Lives of Color tells the unusual stories of seventy-five fascinating shades, dyes, and hues. From blonde to ginger, the brown that changed the way battles were fought to the white that protected against the plague, Picasso's blue period to the charcoal on the cave walls at Lascaux, acid yellow to kelly green, and from scarlet women to imperial purple, these surprising stories run like a bright thread throughout history. In this book, Kassia St. Clair has turned her lifelong obsession with colors and where they come from (whether Van Gogh's chrome yellow sunflowers or punk's fluorescent pink) into a unique study of human civilization. Across fashion and politics, art and war, the secret lives of color tell the vivid story of our culture. "This passionate and majestic compedium will leave you bathed in the gorgeous optics of light." --ElleBinding Type: Hardcover

Great quality
absolutely love my Apple Pencil! ✨ The precision is amazing and it makes writing, drawing, and taking notes feel so smooth and natural. It connects instantly to my iPad and the battery life lasts forever. Definitely one of the best accessories I’ve purchased — it makes everything so much easier and more professional. Highly recommend for students, artists, or anyone who loves being organized! 🍎✏️

Apple Pencil (USB-C): Device Compatibility Check Required
I’m extremely happy with this Apple Pencil! It connected to my iPad quickly and works flawlessly. The writing and drawing experience feels smooth and natural, almost like writing on paper. It’s very responsive with no lag, and the battery life is excellent. Perfect for note-taking, sketching, editing, and everyday productivity. The quality definitely matches the price, and it has made using my iPad so much more convenient. Highly recommend for students, creatives, or anyone wanting to get more out of their iPad.

Perfect if you want to use Procreate
I wasn’t sure if this would work as well as the regular iPencil, because I had read this one doesn’t have features the more expensive one has. And I have to say, whatever those extra features are I’m not missing them! This works great, it’s very accurate, amazing quality. Considering how much I’m using it in Procreate, I would say it’s more than paid for itself! As expensive as it seems, it’s been a great value for the money. It’s easy to use and the design is simple. You just have to remember to occasionally plug it in to charge it- the end slides open, revealing a type-C charger port. But the battery life on it lasts a long time. I’ve used it all day before without it dying on me! That reminds me, I should probably go plug it in now…

Great Apple Pencil, easy set up via Bluetooth, and charges extremely fast.
Great value for the money, very easy to use and compatible with most iPads. It charges extremely fast, if you charge it for 10 minutes it’s at 100% even if it was at 10% when you charged it. Very easy to connect to your iPad via Bluetooth, feels good in your hand, and looks like it cost a lot more money than it did.

Works good
Works great, was easy to connect and it’s easy to use. It’s durable. Most of the time I’m using it instead of my fingers. Pairs well with my iPad A16. It’s not heavy, nor is it too light. Sometimes it’s annoying when I’m trying to use the keyboard on my iPad but it doesn’t pull it up since it’s connected to the pencil, but it’s not too big of a deal. I love the appearance, I’ve always been obsessed with this type of stylus, I found it more practical and easier to use than a traditional stylus. (Plus it makes it so much easier to exit out of ads) I won’t comment on the price since I’m sure it’s worth the money, but I’ll let others be the judge of that. For art purposes, I’m not an artist yet, but I’m practicing, and it works for me, I just can’t comment on how it’ll be for an actual artist though, so please do your research on which will be best for you!
