This is a beautifully published book with gorgeous floral illustrations. The inside of both the front and back covers have color botanical depictions of the flowers that are included in the designs should you wish to color their natural tones. While there are no framing lines at the outer edges, all of the floral elements are finished at the edges so there are no dangling elements left to deal with.

The cover of the book is hinged with a secondary cover beneath it. The actual pages are glue bound but with the type of binding that allows you to remove pages easily and in whole (think of a notepad type of binding.) The paper, which is a light weight card stock, is a light cream tone with a slight amount of roughness to it. The paper is such a nice quality, it will be easy to remove and frame these if you wish.
My various coloring medium all worked well with this edition. I tested a variety of alcohol-based makers with the paper. The paper works fantastic with these markers with only the slightest amount of bleed through. I would still use a blotter page of card stock below my working page to keep seeping ink from marring the rest of the book.
Water-based markers, India ink pens, and gel pens did not bleed through at all. The gel pens required more drying time than usual. Both oil and wax based pencils worked well with this paper with go=ood pigment, layering and blending.
