Great things indeed - but correct me if I'm wrong or stating the obvious - these
things are only useful to describe the colours of objects "in the hand".  It 
will
not, I suspect, enable observers to determine the exact shade of pink or yellow 
of
the facial skin of a Regent Honeyeater 10 metres up a tree!!

My recollection is that Andrew Isles Bookshop has stocked them & can probably 
still
source them.
