Bird Coloring Book (Including Owls) for Adults: Bird Paradise – My Beautiful Col
By: Poppy Sure
Rating: 5 of 5
There are actually 39 pages of bird designs plus 11 sample pages to make up the total 50 designs the back of the book describes (rather than 40/10), but as at least one of the sample pages is of birds, you certainly get 40 bird designs in the book. The birds are a variety with a good number of owls. The designs range from whimsical to rather elegant. Almost all are black lines on white pages but a few are white designs on a black background. The book contains a really good variety of styles to make coloring in it really fun.
The pages are printed on thin white paper which is not perforated. The designs are printed on one side of the page with the back left blank. The designs stop well short of the glued binding and can easily be removed with a pen knife if you so choose.
My gel pens and markers all leaked through this paper. My coloring pencils went on well but left a shadow at the back of the page, too. Not a problem, though, as I can put a piece of chipboard or a couple of heavy weight pieces of paper under the page I am working on to keep the ink from leaking through.
What is really quite nice about this line of books by Grace Sure is that she is also making them available for you to print additional copies if you purchase the book. You can either purchase the book and get the access to the on-line version. If you prefer, you buy the Kindle version of the book or, at the time I am writing this review, you can use your Kindle Unlimited to borrow it, too. You can decide to print the designs on whatever paper can use in your printer. When I have this option, I use my laser printer on chipboard. It keeps it safe from my water-based markers and water colors and gives me a good surface to color on. I may do this for a couple of prints but I am happy with the quality of the printed book for most of my coloring needs.
