Back in the Day — Large Print Coloring Book for Men & Seniors
Remember when the attendant pumped your gas, washed your windshield, and checked your oil without being asked? When the train still stopped in town, the barber knew your name, and Saturday meant a ball game, a soda fountain, and a porch swing at dusk? This is that world, drawn big and bold for coloring.
Back in the Day is a large print coloring book made for men, and made with seniors in mind. Every page is a full 1950s scene with bold outlines, big open shapes, and just a hint of printed gray shading to give the picture depth, so the pages stay easy on the eyes and easy on the hands. No tiny fiddly patterns, no squinting. The subjects are the good stuff: a full-service gas station and a finned '57 sedan, a steam locomotive at the depot, bass fishing and a duck blind at dawn, a Farmall tractor at the barn, a barbershop shave, a pool hall game, a drive-in movie, a ham radio desk, a sailors' homecoming, a barn dance, a county fair, and 80 pages of the America he grew up in.
It makes a thoughtful gift for a dad or grandpa, for a retired veteran, or for anyone in a senior living or memory care setting who lights up at the old days. Familiar scenes, a calm way to pass an afternoon, and pictures worth talking about when they are done.
