Great Garden Quotes
The GreenPrints Adult Coloring Book!

I’ll admit it: I’m not always the sharpest colored pencil in the box. I
mean, in the last year, the publishing world has been flooded with
adult coloring books. They are the book fad of the last 12 months.
(I walked into our local Barnes & Noble the other week. The two
tables between the sets of entrance doors were filled with . . . adult
coloring books. The table immediately across from this entryway
was filled with . . . ? Adult coloring books!)
But it wasn’t until some subcriber casually told us “I love to
color in all the black and white art in my issues” that the bell finally
went off in ye olde Stone skull.
I’ve been publishing adult coloring art for 27 years!
Not only that, much of it comes with beautiful, inspiring, great
garden quotations!
So, OK, OK, I’ve done it. Our new collection, Great Garden
Quotes, is ready for purchase! It contains 69 beautiful pieces of
art, created by 33 different GreenPrints artists. Not only that, each
piece is 8“ x 10“ and perforated on one side, so you can pull it out
after you’ve finished coloring it and frame it!
I wish I could show you all 69 pieces—they range from deeply
moving to flat-out hilarious. Some pieces were wonderful past
covers, most were classic BUDS quotes, and a few were commisioned just for this book.
Here, to your right, is a ready-to-color Ralph Waldo Emerson
quote, done in full color, of course, on this issue’s cover. You’ll find
another coloring page quote on p. 29. To enjoy the rest, order Great
Garden Quotes for $14.95 plus $3.00 s&h from GreenPrints Books
(see p. 6), on the web at www.greenprints.com, or by phone at 800569-0602. And don’t forget: It’s a great gardener’s holiday gift!
