Stained Glass Coloring BooksDover’s distinctive stained glass coloring books are printed on translucent paper
so they glow when colored and held up to a light source. Because the black outlines
are printed on both sides of the sheets, Dover’s stained glass coloring books look
more realistic and vivid when colored than those that are only printed on one side.
Plus, the pages are perforated for easy removal.
