HF Jefferson Davis Coloring Book

[TallTallMan]

Is this nonfiction? Fiction?

Last year I was helping clean out my grandma's closet and I found a Santa Claus book. I noticed it was published by Pelican Press, and thought Uh-oh, and was right to--it was bizarre (more on that later). But it got stranger when I looked at the bio for the illustrator, James Rice. He drew something called The Jefferson Davis Coloring Book.

I don't know what it looks like inside. Dare I find out? Anybody here color it?

TBH I don't find Davis a necessarily color-friendly topic. I mean, what? Him giving a speech? Him at Fortress Monroe? Not exciting at all. I'd want to color a battle.

That is one of the oddest things I've ever seen. I understand coloring books with animals and fruit and stuff, but Jefferson Davis? Very odd. Anyways, it's apparently 32 pages long, and I'd assume most of the pages are similar to the front cover, just without color. I'd say it's non-fiction since Davis is a real person.
Here's a listing for the book:

I don't… do colouring books, I only draw and even if I did do colouring books I would never in a million years make it Jeff Davis (I can't tell if that reply was a joke or not)

The description is in French because the Apple Book Service of Franklin, North Carolina, is selling it on AbeBooks France.

Wonder Book of Frederick, Maryland, is selling the book on AbeBooks in the US. That description is in English.

The Jefferson Davis Coloring Book, Used - AbeBooks

AbeBooks is the world's largest marketplace for new, used and out of print books.

If the book is in like-new condition, that's not an unusual price for a niche adult coloring book.

The author of the book, Ernesto Caldeira, is one of the owners of Rosemont Plantation near Woodville, which is Jefferson Davis' boyhood home.

If someone asked me off the cuff, I would have bet a thousand dollars that a Jefferson Davis coloring book DID NOT EXIST.
