Anybody seen this little book?

I saw the book and picked up a copy for a few dollars. I have not read the whole thing yet, but I like the author's writing style. I expect many books get contradicted by further research, but I assume the system of tartan "sorting" can still be used and relied upon. Thanks, all, for the additional info.

Absolutely. The only thing that's really changed since both authors wrote is the introduction of an increasing number of non-traditional colours and shades. The key is to reduce them to their base terminology; red, blue, green etc., qualified by light and dark and, where necessary, describe the actual shade.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the introduction of these non-tradional colours to tartan was described as a "modern conceit".
