Please see explanation below Explanation: I'm not sure if this is an idiomatic expression, but if I rephrase it: The remiscient color illustration on her first page (of a book) is so wonderful (or pretty) that it is worth paying the money to buy one. Revisited here means nostalgic and to look back good memories from long time ago in one's experience. So her color illustration on the first page reminds one of good experiences in the past, and it is so good that it's worth buying. |
