THE EXECUTIVE COLORING BOOK

A dangerously funny classic, THE EXECUTIVE COLORING BOOK is the original coloring book created for an adult audience. First published more than fifty years ago, this brief and brilliant book skewers the 1960’s executive set. If Mad Men made them look glamorous, THE EXECUTIVE COLORING BOOK casts them in a different hue and invites everyone in on the joke.

“This is me. I am an executive. Executives are important. They go to important offices and do important things. Color my underwear important.”

So begins the dangerously funny classic THE EXECUTIVE COLORING BOOK, the original coloring book created for an adult audience. First published more than fifty years ago, this brief and brilliant book skewers the 1960’s executive set. If Mad Men made them look glamorous, THE EXECUTIVE COLORING BOOK casts them in a different hue and invites everyone in on the joke.

First of its kind! One of today’s hottest trends began way back in 1961 with THE EXECUTIVE COLORING BOOK. This forgotten classic has been out of print for years, but no longer!

The perfect response to the trend! We know—you’re sick of hearing how meditative and restorative coloring can be for busy, stressed-out adults. But what never goes out of style is a good laugh. THE EXECUTIVE COLORING BOOK holds nothing back in blasting corporate culture, and it uses the coloring book format as the vehicle for its satire.

In the media! A recent New Republic article described the book’s take-no-prisoners angle on professional conformity, while crediting it as the genesis of the trend.

A sharable feast! This is one of those books that people immediately want to share with friends. It will be purchased as a coloring book, as a coffee table conversation starter, and as a gift.

THE EXECUTIVE COLORING BOOK was originally published in 1961 under the Price, Stern, Sloan adult books imprint, which has since folded into Putnam. Italian rights for the original edition sold to ISBN Edizioni.
