(Second issue) Page 50, first column, second paragraph: They are, however, dearer than Student's colours. -> They are, however, dearer than Student's Colours. (Or -> They are, however, dearer than student's colours.) Earlier in the paragraph, the two standards are called "Artist's Oil Colours and Student's Oil Colours". The use of capitals seems inconsistent to me.I'm unfamiliar with this stuff. Is "Student's" a brand name?
No, it seems to be an industry standard term to refer to the quality of the product. So ten different companies might produce student's oil colours. The initial occurrence of these terms is capitalised to mark them as two different standards (Student's and Artist's), but the second occurrence seems OK as it is, since it is only the Standard that needs to be capitalised, not any trailing words.
