    best place to buy pantone formula guide....

    as the title says!

    looking to buy a formula guide, just a matte for the moment but ideally want the whole set at some point.

    any recommendations for places to buy one from?

    Thanks

    Laura

    These guys do them at a good price. I'm lucky as I managed to have some spares that my last employer gave me.

    We usually go the Ebay route - no problems at all.

    One word of advice however - make sure that they are the current year edition, not old stock.

    I have the full set which cost £200+ last year. It's very useful... mostly as a VERY expensive doorstop!

    mmmmmmm, I'm tempted. Or I could hang on and get some filthy, chipped - but cheap ones on Ebay?

    Ahhh, the triumph of the free market.

    Not sad at all, the sad thing is that I'd end up for hundreds because I won't be able to decide on the colours...not good!
