beautiful and intricate, but....,

This review is from: Color Your Own Book of Kells (Dover Art Coloring Book) (Paperback)
Most of this coloring book is as wonderful as I expected it to be. I like the selections from the Book of Kells that were chosen to be included, and there's a good variety. The subject matter can't be beat, but I have two small complaints. One, some of the smaller knotwork details are indistinct, even missing. I realize they may be missing in the original, but for a coloring book I really feel they should have been extrapolated for completeness' sake. Second, the Latin script pages aren't translated, and the old calligraphy is hard enough to read that I can't translate them myself.
Aside from these picky details, though, this is a gorgeous, fun coloring book, perfectly appropriate for the collector, either of coloring books or Celtophilia:)

Does not work as a coloring book,

This review is from: Color Your Own Book of Kells (Dover Art Coloring Book) (Paperback)
I just received this and am rather disappointed. The lines are so tiny indistinct and spaces so tiny that it will not really function as a coloring book. I will probably buy fine-tipped colored pens for this, because I don't think anything else will work (and those may bleed... still not sure how to use this). I also got Sibbett's Celtic Design Coloring Book, which is much bolder and well-defined. It was what I had in mind when I ordered this one. I recommend that over this one.

Interesting, but less than expected.,
By C. Dennis Murphy (Morgantown, WV, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Color Your Own Book of Kells (Dover Art Coloring Book) (Paperback)
I had hoped to see some of the intricate detail of the illustrations in the Book of Kells that I could study by coloring. Instead, the elaborate drawings are reduced in size to fit the book pages, and the fine details of interlocking lines and artwork are lost.
