Lovely Variety of Floral and Butterfly Designs printed on one side of non-perforated paper

This is a coloring book with butterfly and flower designs from a variety of artists. The styles vary considerably and I find that these curated books are a good way for a colorist (especially those who are new to the hobby) to get a wide range of designs to choose from without having to buy multiple books.

The book contains 27 designs (if you include the preface to the title page which is the cover art image and the inscription page.) The designs vary in intricacy with some being open and easy to color while others have intricate and small details that might prove a little more difficult. Some of the designs are very detailed and life-like while others are more whimsical and fun. While I did find the front cover art included, I did not find a design based on the exact picture on the back of the cover.

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. There is room between the designs and the glue binding so you can remove the pages with a pen knife. Close to half of the designs merge into the binding and you will lose what appears to be non-essential portions of these designs if you remove them from the book.

My gel pens and markers all leaked through this paper. 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. Coloring pencils work well with the paper.

I received a free sample of this coloring book for test and review purposes.
