Doug Cutrell asks for the details of my books on synesthesia that I mentioned in my reply to Don Hill. The first text, addressed to a professional audience, is %Synesthesia: A Union of the Senses% (1989) New York: Springer Verlag ISBN 0-387-96807-5 (New York) or 3-540-96807-5 (Berlin) US 1-800-777-4643 fax: 201-348-4505 Berlin fax: 49-30-821-4091 It gives phenomenal description, history, & clinical definition, and examines the neurological, psychological, and familial profiles of a group of 42 synesthetes. A neurological basis is offered. The second book is a popular account of my decade of inquiry into synesthesia, as well as an exploration of its %implications% for the majority of us who do not perceive the world synesthetically. It is: %The Man Who Tasted Shapes: A Bizarre Medical Mystery offers Revolutionary Insights into Reasoning, Emotion, and Consciouness.% Jeremy Tarcher/Putnam publishing (1993) ISBN 0-87477-738-0 1-800-788-6262 Fax: 201-933-2316 Jennifer Altman explained it rather well in her review in %New Scientist%.
