Excellent!

A great coloring book, the drawings are even nicer than they look in the preview. I'm having a wonderful time coloring in it, particularly since I have all the original "Country Diary" books for general reference, altho' I'm using my own "palette" of colors. It's lovely with colored pencils but the thick smooth paper would probably work with gel pens as well--if that's your choice of coloring tool, be sure to TEST FIRST before you commit to the actual paper, however.
