I am a huge fan of cat-related coloring books. This is one of the more fun ones that I have. Most of the designs include a cute and cartoon-like cat and all of the designs have a quote or saying on them. I am having a lot of fun coloring in this book and thinking about my various cats (all of whom have passed.) It brings back the good times I had with each of them and gives me a lot of joy.

This is what I found while coloring in this book and testing the paper with my coloring medium:
50 Cat/Quote designs with fun attitude
Printed one side of the page
Paper is typical inexpensive quality by CreateSpace printing: white, thin, slightly rough and non-perforated.
The designs do not merge into the binding. The designs have a framing line at the outer edges.
Glue Binding
Alcohol-based markers bleed through the page quickly.
Water-based markers bleed through in spots.
Gel pens and India ink pens leave shadows on back of the page. India ink can bleed through if you apply heavily or multiple coats.
Colored pencils work well with this paper. I found that I could layers the same color for deeper pigment or multiple colors and I could blend easily using a blending stick. I tested both oil and wax based pencils. I also found that hard lead pencils leave dents through the paper.
I like to use a blotter when working in the book. I use a page of card stock or several sheets of heavyweight paper under my working page. It keeps seeping ink and marring dents from ruining the pages below.
In addition to the copy of this book that I purchased on Amazon, the publisher provided me with an advance reader copy of this book.
