{PRETITLE} Magnificent Mosaics {POSTTITLE}

When I first opened this book, I wasn't sure if I would like how thick the lines were. However, when I finished my first design, I realized the end result was very pleasing! I have actually enjoyed this book more than any of my other approximately 40 books! So much so, I purchased a second one shortly after the first because I know I will not tire of it. I am fairly certain I will purchase at least one more even.

PROS: Every single design in this book is intricate and unique. However, even if one design does remind you of another in the book, they are different enough to color in a way that your finished products will not necessarily look alike. I have not seen designs like this thus far. It is very satisfying coloring designs unlike any others before. They are far from simple, and that makes them very enjoyable to me personally.

CONS: The paper is double-sided printed. Additionally, this is a Green Edition book. Though I appreciate recycling, this paper is fairly thin, so you must be sure to use the correct medium and/or colors that won't bleed through and ruin the design on the other side. This has caused me to color some designs differently than I would have if I did not have to worry about that.

One improvement I wish I could make in production of the book - The printing is more "charcoal gray" than black. I believe the colored designs would look even better if the printing were a bit darker.

These designs are very much like a stained glass window since the lines are very thick. This is a wonderful feature if you want to use bigger coloring pens/markers/crayons. Little kids would even be able to handle this ok because there would be minimal 'going outside the lines'.

I am especially pleased because I have Prismacolor markers and they are just thick enough that I sometimes can't use them in Dover books. The lines are usually thinner so it will bleed through. But this book, no prob.

My only gripe about this (and all other Dover coloring books) is the pages are double sided. When using markers this means that you pick one side and the other will be useless. This is only with markers/pens though. With colored pencils this wouldn't be a problem.

30 designs in all.
