The NYC Coloring Book

Forget the Statue of Liberty and Times Square. Here, Joel Holland, whose popular storefront books have captured the character of New York, London, and Paris, offers a vision of the city locals cherish and visitors rarely see in guidebooks. 

Each illustration spans both sides of thick, high-quality paper designed to prevent bleed-through with colored pencils, markers, or gel pens. Holland opens the book with a personal introduction about his relationship with the city, followed by his expert recommendations for coloring tools.  The back  includes thumbnail images with  captions identifying every location.

This is Manhattan as it’s meant to be experienced—one colored-in corner at a time.
