Columbia University Press (2001). Amazon has plenty of copies starting from £7.99. Michel Pastoureau is a very entertaining writer, but tends to be a bit how shall I say this flamboyant? about some of what he says. I have a couple of his books, including _Blue: The History of a Color_ and right at the very beginning it contains some passages that appear to demonstrate that he either is not aware of, or is deliberately ignoring, some of the significant research on the cognitive history of color concepts (or so says the scholar who gave it to me).

Thanks. I have the English translation, but I was a bit unhappy with it.
