Home is Where the Heart Is: A Hand-Crafted Adult Coloring Book
By: Steve Duffendack
Rating: 5 of 5
This is a pretty coloring book with filled with designs of things (including pets) that can be found in a home. The designs are all fairly easy to color and are very similar in style to other coloring books by this author. The book includes designs of wine bottles, dogs and cats, mixed drinks, flowers, bathtubs, pillows, and much more. This artist as a clean and stylized look to his designs. There is not a lot of intricate details that require tiny bits of color.
The book itself is really pretty, too. It has a dust jacket which can be colored, inside and out. The outside has a beautiful touch of red foil in addition to parts that are colored beautifully. The publishers missed an opportunity when they didn’t put coloring images on the actual cover of the book.
The designs are printed double-sided on a good heavyweight white paper. What is wonderful is that the pages are perforated for easy removal. There are nine designs which appear to be spread across two pages and which will be divided if you remove the pages from the book. The good news is that all but one of them (the free-standing desk) can easily stand-alone as single page designs. The binding is sewn rather than glued so you can remove a few pages at a time by snipping a few threads.
