"This wonderful and wholly unexpected book is a true work of art, and unusually moving testament to the essential mechanics of our universe; namely that 'love multiplies'"

     —Ken Burns, producer, director, cinematographer

First created more than a decade ago as an extremely limited, silk-screened edition, The Color of Love is now a lavish gift for lovers everywhere. An ode to the heart, this passionate selection of poetry and prose has been compiled and illuminated by renowned painter and bookmaker Marielle Bancou.

The Color of Love is one of the most beautiful, accessible, and wide-ranging collections of writings about love ever assembled. It brings together both beloved favorites and unexpected gems, all by a stellar line-up of luminaries: from Sei Shonagon to Emily Dickinson to Cole Porter, and many more.
