Reviews
I am collecting books with the name Fairchild, since that is my name. I would like to know more of the history of how it came about. Is it an old book, was someone named Fairchild ever associated with it, and not just a company? Who used the book primarily in the beginning, and then it caught on and who uses it now?The pictures are delightful and black and white outlines suitable for copying and coloring!I love the colors of the book! I am a writer and editor. This is my opinion of this beautiful book. Sure it may be out of date. It is useful anyway. Charlotte Fairchild
