Not Just a Coloring Book, I Spy Activities Included
I bought this book to put in my office where anyone can come in and color, kind of a team building/de-stress activity. As mentioned by other reviewers, the pages are extremely difficult to tear, but with a bit of elbow grease to flatten the book, I was able to do it. I can place the two halves into one complete design. The edges do overlap a bit so you do not lose any details. These are double-sided so be careful which medium you use. I decided to go with color pencils, and not color ink or gel pens. Another reviewer mentioned there is no name/title to each design. I actually find them towards the end of the book. There is an I Spy (Find) game built in. You need to find certain shapes/animals. The Answers pages contain the name/title of each drawing. Overall, I like the larger size of the drawing pages, the varied designs and skills, and the thickness of the drawing pages. They are good for framing. I would recommend.

I have to say coloring was one of my favorite past times and this totally had brought that to a new level. This book has some many cool pictures that when brought to life with what ever color choices you choose are simply exciting. I can sit for hours and color and sometimes have lots track of time. My wife who laughed when I told her I bought a coloring book now sits down and colors one side of the page while I color the other. Its become a total blast for us both and is very relaxing.

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2015

I'm so happy that I've discovered this book! I don't consider myself artistic at all and rarely reach for arts and crafts projects to pass the time, but this coloring book is the perfect way to ease some stress and recharge. My favorite thing about this one is that besides the beautiful cityscapes, there are lots of pages and sections with more abstract drawings, for when you really want to zone out and not worry about what colors make the most sense.

4.0 out of 5 stars Picky hubby very happy
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2015
Verified Purchase
This is four of four books I bought for hubby who is recovering from shoulder surgery. Was able to take the sling off and I knew he needed something to do to keep him from damaging his shoulder. He has enjoyed the coloring of the cities, is working on one with the sun behind skyscrapers. I asked him his opinion and was surprised at how pleases he is, he is usually quite fussy about such activities. He complained non-stop about a couple of similar crafts I bought for him. Fortunately, we had three boxes of coloring/watercoloring pencils besides the one I bought so he has a good selection of colors.
My only negative aspect is that many of the pictures consists of being on two pages, hard to get to the section in-between the two pages. I would prefer that they be perforated so they could be taken out and then taped together when finished to make the whole picture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun!
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2015
Verified Purchase
This is a fun coloring book with lots of small and large areas to color. Some of the cities are fantasy and some are renditions of actual cities; there are pages in the back that identify them. I use pencils rather than crayons in this book. This is my first adult coloring book and I find it very relaxing and a relief from kid's coloring books, which are not very challenging for an adult colorer. The images shown in the product description are indicative of the types of coloring projects in the book. Enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful designs, great quality book
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2015
Verified Purchase
Beautiful designs, great quality book... however, and this is enough of a big deal that I wouldn't buy this book if I had noticed this before, the drawings cover two pages and the middle is not easy to color. Also, they are front and back so I cannot use sharpies unless I'm willing to ruin the drawing on the back. I'm very disappointed and sad I didn't notice this before buying it, it just looked so nice I felt like I had to have it. I'm giving it a three since if you're going to use pencils and don't mind the issue with coloring through the middle it's a very nice quality book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I like the size and the pictures
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2015
Verified Purchase
I like the size and the pictures, designs, patterns are really fun. For me this book works really well--the designs leave enough for me to work "outside the lines" if I choose, and are not too intricate that I am overwhelmed. The sample pages were helpful in choosing this book, but my favorite pages (and there are a lot of them) I found when I actually received it. I like looking at the pages, and coloring them even more.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, poor quality
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2017
Verified Purchase
Really wanted to like this adult coloring book, but poor construction has left me quite frustrated. The paper rag content is quite low and my color pens bled through not only the other side, but they even bled onto the next page! Since the publishers decided to save money by printing on every sheet, there's a whole 2 page spread ruined. I thought it might be my new markers, but tried them on a different coloring book with zero bleed. Add this to the fact that illustrations go right through the seam and it makes coloring difficult. There are no perforations so you cannot cleanly remove pages; binding is like a normal book. Some of the illustrations are nice, but if you want to use pens and not colored pencils, you will be sorely disappointed.

I bought this coloring book for my 9 year old nephew and he loves it! He's into buildings and landscapes so this was way up his alley. He's colored at least 4-5 pages so far. It was a great way for him to do something different then TV and computer games. Next adult coloring book will probably be Splendid Cities, since I love how it's different then just plants and animals. It's also whimsical and I really enjoy that.

Fantastic and expansive selection. The perfect balance of difficulty and design. I was looking for a colouring book that wasn't gonna take me 100 hours per page to colour and this was the perfect decision. The designs are simple enough that you could actually finish them in a night. That's enjoyable I think. Hate going back to the same really intricate design for weeks. With this book, you get beautiful and varied designs, all simple enough not to make your head spin. Also, did I mention how many pages this is? It's all around a great colouring book!

Something different from the Enchanted Forest and Secret Garden range. Nice paper which I use Faber Castell Pitt Artist pens which don't bleed through. Pictures are fun and not at all childish so this should appeal to most age groups.
