"A new standard" according to V. Schmidt. This arrived yesterday and already i've completed four of the images (attached). What I like about this is that rather than create drawings for a coloring book, they have adapted actual historic prints from the 17 and 18 hundreds - and identified them by title and date in an index on the last page. This makes the whole book more meaningful for me, so I think from now on I will order books in which the images have a historical significance. The Paris fa. UNIQUE 31 interesting drawings mostly of people doing various things tho' there are a few nature scenes. They're identified inside the back cover; most are from the 1700s. There is a lot more black here than in other books, for example: hair and some parts of clothing; but it's part of the character and not unattractive. There's not much tiny detail like that in the Tibetan book. As with all Creative Haven books, the prints are single-sided and the pages are . "Awesome coloring book" according to Lindsey Cox. Ordered this for my boyfriend for christmas. The drawings are all really cool, and he really liked that there were not double sided pages, so that any marker coloring would not bleed onto and ruin another page
