I purchased this book many years ago to use in my classroom with teenagers and it has held up very well. One thing that you should know is that there are 2 pages of every design in the book. Many of the pictures have a central design (girl with urn, horse, flower, Viking ship) surrounded by repetitive geometric designs. Students enjoy using a variety of coloring patterns to complete these interesting pictures. I would highly recommend for those who love to color within the lines.

YES, I had purchased this book three times, I am thinking about going for it for the 4th? Why?

For one thing, it will drive you batty; for indeed there are some pages like the front cover shown; of repetitions. But just because a pattern repeats itself does not mean that the "artist" must follow the same repetitive pattern whatsoever, hence, the very nature and reason why I ended up purchasing this book the 2nd time, then 3rd time... and the temptation is hard not to resist to go for it for the 4th time.

For Teachers and Educators: This is an excellent way for the youth can explore their creative minds; with your teaching expertise, informing them just because it is so does not necessarily mean it has to be so with provisions of examples. An excellent ideas would be "Abstract" versus "Realistic" versus "Surreal". What makes this so great is, there is no "right or wrong". Indeed there is a color-wheel, but just because there is a color-wheel, superimposed, the implications has no merit or meaning in a creative mind.

In one of my books, I actually did a lithographic stereotype coloring, in other words, everything was in reversed; so what should have been the background was the foreground and the foreground became the background. Easier said than done.
