It seems that red is one of the hardest colors to photograph, because lighting can make it look orange, but the photo nearest the actual color is the next-to-last one.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-194104997593107782014-09-14T02:19:44.142-05:002014-09-14T02:19:44.142-05:00Hello there,

If you don't know, could you provide a contact for the upholsterer who did the job? Also, the color looks different in all pictures. Was it pure orange? or pure red? Or was it a combination? It looks orange in the Playboy photo. Anyhow, thanks for whatever information you can provide!<br /><br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-87898184629012789002012-09-12T12:50:14.394-05:002012-09-12T12:50:14.394-05:00For Sale!!!

It's not in great shape but the cover is still bright and cheery and some of the pages are still fully in tact. I thought the illustrations might be good for framing. I bought it because I collect Richard Scarry books and he is the illustrator.
