Book - The essential color manual for photographers, Chris Rutter

The Essential Colour Manual for Photographers" is a comprehensive guide to the technical, practical, and inspirational aspects of colour photography. Whether you are just beginning your journey into the world of photography, or an experienced photographer wishing to hone your skills, you will find plenty to inspire and instruct you throughout.
I read a recommendation for the above book on colour management and managed to eventually get hold of a copy. It seems to be a book that you dip in and out of rather than start at the beginning and work your way through. It covers just about every aspect of colour management - colour theory, calibrating hardware, dealing with different/mixed light sources, seasonal variations in natural light and post-processing techniques. As I work through the level 1 Digital Photographic Practice module I feel I need to gain a greater understanding of colour ,much more than I know at the moment. This book seems to be highly recommended so let's hope it gives me the insights I need to produce realistic images.
