Charming combination of text and watercolors November 23, 2008
I have lived in Bloomington, Indiana, for 35 years so I appreciate this book. Doug Wissing has done the town justice with this account. I ran across Bloomington Sketchbook in a local dermatologist's office and knew I had to have a copy. Doug used to run a printing business next to my husband's former place of business. I had no idea Doug was an author until I discovered and read his book Pioneer in Tibet. You almost need to be a Bloomington resident to fully appreciate Sketchbook, but if you love history and adventure, you will appreciate Pioneer in Tibet. Jean Rhoads
