Did you know that synesthesia experts Richard Cytowic and David Eagleman have co-written a new book about synaesthesia?

It's title is Wednesday Is Indigo Blue: Discovering the Brain of Synesthesia. I haven't read it yet. Our state library service is so hopeless that they might never stock the book, or at least take many months to provide a copy, so I might have to buy it.

And I'd like to point out that Wednesday is certainly not indigo blue coloured, at least not in my universe!
