I am currently coloring this book and greatly enjoying doing so, however, I think those considering purchasing this coloring book need to be aware it is very detailed.

In order to portray the house completely on each page along with foreground, the drawings are small.

A person needs a very fine-point marker or pen to do the coloring, and unless one likes small, detailed work, or has a great love for historic houses (I LOVE old houses), they might find it tedious.

While I like the book, it is challenging.

Definitely for adults only or possibly teenagers. It would be far too difficult for a young child.

I was raised in New England. I loved that in this book they used real New England places. It was so much fun to flip through the book, and go OMG I've been there before!!! Great book.

I just purchased these Dover COloring Books for my mother and she loves them. The detail is out of this world and the variety of colors you can use are only limited by your inagination. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The coloring books in the Dover Series, especially those by Marty Noble and A.G. Smith, are superb. My 8 yr old and 6 yr old daughters have been enjoying these highly detailed coloring books since they were 4 years old. It is a great balance to original art and allows children to focus on color combinations, balance, precision, and patterns. We use good quality colored pencils with these coloring books. Markers may bleed through depending on the type of marker. Great gift for anyone creative, especially children 5+ along with a set of good quality colored pencils.
