That's got to be some serious hard work! I think the people who are directly involved in the colour choices and manage to mix over 1700 colours that are all different quite amazing really.

Wow, I didn't realise that either! A local printing company I visited were using a swatch that looked about 20 years old! Maybe I should tell them too! lol Those are exactly what I was looking for!

Apparently one should replace Pantone books every single year as they can fade and become 'more yellow' over time thus rendering your books inaccurate. In addition you should keep them in the dark to reduce their deterioration as much as possible. Hope that helps The most reasonably priced Pantone swatch books I found are these at the link below.
