Kim's Down Memory Lane Coloring Book, Six Old-Fashioned Scenes for Children and Adults to color, issued by Red Farm Studio, no. 2720.The box that holds the coloring book has six miniature coloured copies of the pictures inside on its cover. The book cover shows the same miniatures but in sepia and contains six pages of full sized sketches of old fashioned scenes.
The cover and pages are stapled at the top to a cardboard back. The pages are perforated for easy removal.
When I opened the box, I discovered that the cover was foxed and the pages are yellowing.
I purchased this book about 25 years ago and using google, I was able to find another of Kim's coloring books on ebay but not this particular one. Definitely 'vintage' but not very valuable.
.
Red Farm Studio is still producing coloring books for adults. Some are packaged with brushes and a pallet of watercolours.

I've never wanted to colour these sketches but I do need to protect them from further deterioration.
