I have had this book on my wish list for a little over 2 years now and finally went ahead and purchased it. I agree with what the others said it is a coloring book, sure wish they would have had more information here on Amazon regarding that because I would not have wasted the money on shipping and handling for a Coloring Book.

I have other books that I recommend if you are interested in Brownstones and Rowhouses I would suggest:

{{The Baltimore Rowhouse}} by by Mary Ellen Hayward, Charles Belfoure, Charles Belfour, Mary Ellen Haywood

{{Town Houses: Urban Houses from 1200 to the Present Day}} by Marcus Binney

{{Bricks and Brownstones : The New York Row House}} by Charles Lockwood

This is a sketch book of typical rowhouse architectural features. The sketches are crude and seem to invite crayons. There is no text and nothing to put the designs in context. I hoped for more.

I give this five stars as a coloring book. It isn't for adults, as far as I can tell. With that in mind, it's a good introduction, for kids, to rowhouses.

I got this coloring book for my birthday, and its treally fun. I think my neighbors house is in a picture. I think . I colored them all with paints, and they looked good. I live in Brooklyn and saw houses around here that people live in. I don't always love houses but its fun to see the type of house you live in. A lot of times you never do. Most people live in regular houses that aren't connected to each other. I loved this book. Its intresting and educational about seeing things that you forget about that are neat when you have to see them to paint them right.
