I purchased several of this type coloring books and they have been a hit at the nursing home. The residents have really enjoyed them. For anyone with time this is a great boredom solver.

Very well illustrated coloring book, with lots of action pictures to color of outlaws robbing trains, banks and stagecoaches, as well as the brave lawmen who went after them.

There are also a couple of women outlaws who are shown in the coloring book.

In addition to the illustrations, there is a paragraph or so beneath the picture that tells about the person featured, which I found very interesting and informative.

The pictures are very well drawn, one to a page mostly, showing background and foreground both, lots of details but I think a child could color these as well as an adult.

I colored mine mostly with non-bleed through marker and block chalk applied with a Q-tip, although some of the larger areas of landscape, such as skies, I used plain old crayons for a quick and easy cover.

I would highly recommend this coloring book for anyone who enjoys coloring action scenes and has an interest in the old west and the legendary characters who once made it wild.
