My first impression of this coloring book was what a nice heavy duty quality the cover is and the size of the book, in dimensions.  I was very excited to try this book out, I have used others in the past and still haven't found the coloring book I just LOVE.  I used two different types of markers on the first title page to see if they would bleed through.  They bled through.  So I need to purchase some colored pencils and try this book again.  Otherwise, it is a nice book.  The coloring pages are beautiful, there is a nice variety of pictures and they are good size.  If anyone can recommend some good colored pencils to use for this, I am searching amazon now.
