My favorite coloring book

I have bought this book twice. I love the drawings. Coloring the costumes inspires creativity and fantasy. And I appreciate the abundance of factual information about clothing in medieval times. Definitely my favorite coloring book. When I'm finished with this one, I'll buy it again.
Nothing dark and medieval here

I just purchased these Dover COloring Books for my mother and she loves them. The detail is out of this world and the variety of colors you can use are only limited by your inagination. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Historical Re-creationists will love it!

This coloring book has some terrific pictures of medieval fashions. SCA and Faire Folk can get some great ideas for garb here. There's no documentation for the clothing, but it's still fun to color!
A Costumer's Delight!

This book is really fun. There are pictures of men and women from various countries and different social and economic backgrounds, and a good amount of detail in each drawing. If you were attempting to reconstruct the costume of a 14th century French baker's wife, for example, you could get many good ideas here! I can't stress enough what a good resource this book would be: the pictures are large and detailed, the captions clearly identify the time,place, and economic status of the persons being depicted. Just a wonderful, gorgeous book!
