Default 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!
