This is one of my first coloring books by Action Publishing. I was surprised at how well made the book was compared to other coloring books. It has a spiral top binding so left and right handed colorists should both have an easy time coloring. It is printed on a good grade of card stock and it also has a plastic blotter page which can be moved around under whatever your current working page is.

The designs are great fun too. There are a full 36 designs with half of them being full page and the other half being banner size. The subjects are all fantasy with dragons, unicorns, castles, mermaids and more. The way the book is arranged, there is a full length design first and then a banner design on the same subject. It’s a different and interesting way of setting the book up.
This is what I experienced while coloring in the book and testing the paper with my coloring medium:
36 Fantasy Designs 18 subjects in full page and banner size designs.
Printed one side of the page
Paper is white, card stock, lightly rough and non-perforated
Spiral bound
Cutting line is at the top of each page but the pages are not perforated.
Easily opens flat for ease of coloring
Designs stop well short of the cutting line and spiral binding
Includes moveable medium weight plastic blotter page
Alcohol-based markers bleed lightly through this paper
Water-based markers and India ink pens leave indistinct shadows on the back of the page
Gel pens do not bleed through the paper
Colored pencils worked nicely with this thin but slightly rough paper. I tested both oil and wax based pencils and got good color with multiple layers of the same color, good results from layers of different colors and nice blending results using a blending stick.
