Well, you may have noticed there has been something of a hiatus here of late (again), this time it was occasioned by the need to deal with all your orders from Callum James Books latest catalogue so thank you all so much for taking the time to look through it and especially, of course, to those who brought from it (which you can still do of course!). Apologies to those I have had to disappoint, there were numerous items in this catalogue which could have been sold many times over.
So to make up for absence I thought I would share this amusing recent acquisition. The Gay Coloring Book sounds like it ought to be one of those books which are just vaguely amusing because they come from a time before Gay meant Gay. But no! In this instance we have full on campy, kitsch colouring opportunities as we are introduced to Percy and his friends and asked to colour them in. This quirky little item was published by Guild Press in Washington in 1964. There doesn't appear to be any signature nor any credit given to the artist. I've never seen another.
