Escape to Oz: A Colouring Book Adventure

The book is great. I love the art style. Also the delivery was fast and perfect.

Thick pages. Good printing. Nice theme.

beautiful book, prints i love it. however the size of the book is a bit small.

I love this series of coloring books. I plan on purchasing the rest.

Diese Escape-Reihe von Good Wives and Warriors ist einfach nur schön. Ich hatte erst das Büchlein über Shakespeares Werke und war so begeistert das ich mir die anderen 3 nun auch geholt habe. Dieses hier, Escape to Oz, ist auch wunderbar umgesetzt, man erkennt die Szenen und es stehen auch kleine Texte dazu. Die Motive sind detailliert und sehr schön. Ich war erst verwundert weil die Bücher doch recht klein sind aber nun finde ich das sogar ganz angenehm zu händeln. Das Papier hat eine gute Stärke und ist glatt und weiß. Für normale Buntstifte und Gelstifte auf jeden Fall gut geeignet, bei Filzer bin ich mir nicht sicher. Die Heftung der Seiten ist auch gut, so kommt man beim colorieren auch gut bis in die Mitte.Ich empfehle dieses Büchlein sehr gerne weiter. Vielleicht nich für Anfänger aber es sind ja auch einfachere Motive dabei. Verpackung und Versand waren gut und schnell.

As described

Je sius folle apres JB et GWAW. Mais contrairement au JB, eux continuent de publier des petites livres incroyables. Merci, jamais déçue.

I own a number of the “Escape” coloring books by Good Wives and Warriors. Each one has been a fantastic and fun coloring adventure. This one, based on “The Wizard of Oz” is another great entry. It is the same size as the others (at approximately 7.5 x 7.25 inches) and has fantastic designs that mostly spread across two pages (though there are a few one page designs included as well.)It is fun to see Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion. The “magic” shoes are silver as described in the book rather than the ruby slippers of the movie. In my first project, I did a nod to the movie with the beginning of the tornado down in grayscale and then I moved to color just as the movie moved to color on the other side of the rainbow.The designs are very detailed and, in many cases, intricate with small elements to color. I am choosing to use colored pencils with sharp points as it will be easier to color the tiny parts and because the designs are printed on both sides of the page.The attached cover of the book is well made and is done in shades of green with black lines and also has gold foil. You can color the remainder of the cover (front and back) if you wish. The inside of the cover has fold-outs (front and back) and a white lines on green print which you can also color. The rest of the pages (including title and intro) are designs, so every page in the book can be colored.The binding is sewn rather than glued, so removing pages will require a few snips of threads every few pages. I prefer to leave my together as it tells a whole story as it is but coloring into the binding takes some manipulation of the book.96 pages of Fantastic Wizard of Oz designsDesigns are printed on both sides of the pagePaper is heavyweight, cream colored, slightly rough and non-perforated30 Designs are printed across two pagesSewn BindingMore than half of the designs merge into the binding areaAlcohol-based markers bleed through this paper. If you use these, the ink will mar the design on the back of the page.Water-based markers left indistinct shadows on the back of the page but did not bleed through. The shadows were enough to be noticeable on the designs on the back of the page.Gel pens and India ink pens did not bleed through.Colored pencils work well with this paper – both oil based and water based. I was able to layer and blend well using a blender stick and get a nice deep color with both types of pencils.
