Wonderfully detailed line drawings to color. Each has an historical note and date. My only caveat is that felt pens bleed through the paper so crayon or pencils only.

I bought this coloring book as a birthday present for my eleven-year-old son, who is really into art, history and drawing. He absolutely loved it! The illustrations are very detailed and not at all cartoonish. He uses colored pencils, which I would recommend over crayons or markers for this particular book. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in historical costumes, too.

I really like to color,eeven tohough i am an older person. A whole lot older than thirteen. 47 to be exact. Just please dont repeat that HaHa. Any way from all ive seen and have received i have really enjoy. I cant find theses kind of coloring books any where else.Thank you very much. and age isnt an factor.

A.G. Smith's Knight's and Armor Coloring book is a brief but fun trip back into the pomp and power of the middle ages. Inside you will find laid out over forty pages a wonderful assortment of: English, German, French and other knights in full regalia drawn up in a detailed, accurate and breath-taking fashion that one cannot help themselves but to enjoy. Simply beautiful to look at.

The book provides the reader with a detailed image of the knight, and then a small foot note of information at the bottom of the page, it provides a fun source of entertainment to look over and enjoy the illustrations whether you choose to attempt to color within the detailed lines or not. While some have chosen to color their pictures and/or display them, I myself have not, and prefer to keep the book intact and uncolored for future glances that make me smile.

What one can do is photocopy the images for coloring so as not to ruin the integrity of the book.

In all a fun book that children will enjoy and at such a low price with great artwork adults can appreciate.

We were gifted this coloring book for a homeschool unit we were doing. It is very well done. This is not a basic coloring book that toddlers will enjoy, but is wonderful for older kids who like more detailed pictures. My 4-year-old was able to enjoy coloring with her older siblings, but the 8 & almost 7-year-old enjoyed it the most. My kids used crayons, colored pencils would be a great fit, too.

Dover's coloring books are always top notch and this one is no exception. Beautiful, well detailed drawings of armors and knights.
Too difficult for my 4 years old, but still we work on them together and he enjoyed his book a lot.

This coloring book is filled with detailed illustrations of knights and armor (including great captions explaining the time period depicted and the function of the armor). As referenced by others, the pictures are detailed and there is even a glossary of terms so you know what you are looking at (almost all of which were new to me). If I had to lodge a complaint it might be that the majority of the pictures are a little static in that they simply show a knight standing there rather than engaged in some action or battle, but then perhaps this is the best way to give the effect of their armor. Also, the kids REALLY love it so nothing missing from their perspective.

Purchased for the artwork and very happy that I did. Great pyrography subjects. Very well done and great variety to work from.

Good artist reference for armor types. This is a cheap book, and worth it if your looking for different styles of armor in black and white.
