This book presents more interesting possibilities than some. My husband enjoys colouring these designs, more or less as one would doodle on a paper while watching TV. He is happy with the designs and the quality of the paper in this book; however he also has discovered it can be fascinating to try to achieve the 3-D dimension of the patterns. So it turns out to be a great booklet of patterns, simple enough for a young person but one that can present a nice challenge to more `sophisticated' colouring fans.

From inside the front cover:
This dover edition first published in 2005, is a republication of all the plates that appeared in 'Isometric Perspective Designs and How to Create Them', originally published by Dover Publications in 1981.

There was a bit of a mislead here and I'm a bit bummed because I already have the original book. Now don't get me wrong, this is a cool book and the designs are really great. Very cool illusion type shapes and very fun to color. But I feel they really ought to have given some warning here.

There are 31 designs in here - yes an odd number. It's because the middle is a foldout thing that covers 2 pages. 32 double-sided pages in all.

Made a perfect gift for my niece who loves to color but has never seen anything like this.

I love the Dover coloring books. I have bought quite a few different ones. I will run copies of the pages to color, (and keep the originals pristine in the book) so that I can use them over and over :) This particular one is a very nice collection of interesting designs. It came quickly and in perfect condition. I recommend!
