I own a couple of coloring books by this publishers. In Best Sellers, they have put together a compilation of designs that appear in other books they have published. I definitely saw designs that appear in Owls and Animals which are two of the books I own. What I like about this book is that it gives you a variety of styles at a low price. This designs from this publisher appear, for the most part, to be licensed. I’ve definitely seen some, but not all, of them in other coloring books.
The designs include: flowers, animals, owls, birds, mandalas, abstract, and cupcakes. The emphasis seems mostly on mandalas. The lion on the cover is included in the book. I choose to color that one first and, as you can see if my photos post, the fun of coloring is that you can interpret designs in many different ways.
The book is a smaller format than usual at approximately 8.25 x 8.25 inches. All of the designs stop well before the binding. The designs are printed on one side of thin white non-perforated paper and are centered well on the page. The binding is glued but there is plenty of room for you to cut a page out if you choose to do so. I was easily able to break the spine by opening the book fully and pressing down hard on the binding area. In doing so, I could get the book to lay flat.
I test all of my coloring books with a variety of coloring mediums. I will list those mediums in the comments section below. Here are the results of my test on this book.
All of my markers bleed through and my gel pens and India ink artist pens leave a distinct shadow on the back of the page. My coloring pencils work well with the paper although the hard lead pencils leave dents at the back of the page. I will use a piece of chipboard or heavy paper behind the page I am working on so I don’t ruin the following page with leaking ink.
