This book is a collection of images of smoking devices from throughout the world starting about 1650. They come from India, Japan, China, Africa, North and South America, Europe, and Indonesia. You probably have never seen some of this exotic and interesting paraphernalia. The images are adapted from drawings, so not everything portrayed can be colored because some parts are gray or black, but most images provide many elements suitable for coloring. Much beauty in these smoking devices is available for expression of creativity.
