Wonderful selection of Houses MaryVee I love this coloring book. I'm from Kentucky and Tennessee, but I've actually visited some of the houses in Upstate NY included. My only suggestion is that the pictures be limited to one sided paper, instead of having pictures on both sides. Therefore, I would recommend using only colored pencils or pastels since most markers will bleed through to the back side.. Very good choice I liked it. The paper is heavy enough, and the artwork is very nice. If I were to make one suggestion it would be to include original colored pictures to give one some idea which colors to use on each picture. It is very relaxing.. "House History Lesson" according to Carolyn Davis. Reading the history that is provided with each page, had me googling each house for more info.
