I need a colour guide and I'm looking at getting this Pantone Trilogy as horton mentioned above...
$270 USD on amazon.com seems like a good deal, but the AUD to USD exchange rate is currently bollocks.. (1AUD = 0.6 USD)
Does anyone know if/where I'd be able to purchase this in Australia?
(ps- September came and went, what happened?)

pantone books are overrated

or perhaps (and more likely because the way he was talking privacy) it was this:

I got some paint chips that look almost the same from home depot. Makes me feel like a big-shot.

I would like some Pantone books, but I can't afford them.
- Look for good quality ones on eBay - that's where I got my first one from.detritus
- just get a bridge book to start.. approx $100 or the set for savings.

Different ink-system. Regular Pantone colours aren't going anywhere just yet. The Goe ones just add more colours and a slightly different ink-set (for the printers).
And a weird orange box to put on your shelf to look important...

Don't buy them yet. Wait until the 2nd week of September. Trust me.

colormunki looks to be for on screen use only tho - At a glance it looks like an advanced colour collaborator/palette chooser kind of app - am I wrong?
horton have you been happy with your pantone guides? I read that the Pantone Goe ones don't have equivalents of the colour in PMS (backwards compatible if you know what I mean).

chatting to a printer last week and I asked about the new system.
he didnt have a clue what i was talking about.so we looked at his porn calendar.

I got the Goe system right when it came out... seemed like a good system, great idea... but like Mistermik said above, the printers I've talked generally look at me with no clue as to what I'm talking about.
So, I haven't used it once yet. But the red transparent plastic cube looks nice in my shelf.

I've use the Goe system. Most printers haven't heard of it and that's Pantone's fault for not marketing it to anyone but designers, but they all have the inks needed to mix up Goe colors. They merely need the recipes, so to speak.
I like the Goe system because it has a much wider range of colors than the usual PMS books. Also, colors shift MUCH more evenly down a page, so never again will you need to spec 403.5 because 403 is too light and 404 is too dark (just an example).
I recommend it, but only if you do a fair bit of print work and really need to make your color work extra hard. I just used the Goe system on a complex print piece and it looks gorgeous.

Plus the swatchbooks are pretty cool. The swatches are removable stickers. No more losing swatches.
