Don't assume

I ordered this book about the artist Monet, incorrectly assuming that the examples of his work inside would be accurate depictions, in other words, in color. Why would an author write a book about one of the most famed artists in the world and not include COLOR representations? There are some in color, but the majority are black and white illustrations, probably 80%. For an artist representing the beginnings of impressionism, it's all about using color to evoke the mood and feeling. Felt very let down.
