I'm thinking of making one up for a gag during a presentation at work. I thought I'd ask here before I pull my standard coloring book apart to try and get the proper measurements.
Thanks in advance. Regards, Kevlar the Magnificent! |

Well, since coloring books, stamp albums, etc have been made in so many different sizes, the only critical dimension would seem to be: how much shorter are the short pages than the long ones. I looked at a couple of different coloring books I have and even that varies. Anything in the range of 1/16" to 1/8" should work just fine.
Now, if you want to make a book with more than one change, there are different ways to do that. You say that you have a "standard" coloring book. I think you can get the measurements from it easily without having to take it apart. Dennis Loomis

I created a series of five-way coloring books for a Coca-Cola Story Traveler tour several years ago. It wasn't difficult, but it did require some careful tweaking of the measurements to get it exactly right. A local printer trimmed the pages. To ensure that they were all alike, I built three wooden "templates" to align the pages properly for cutting.
Please PM or e-mail me and tell me what you are trying to do, and I might be able to help.
Things are more like they are today than they've ever been before...

Just a hint, I made a custom bookand used 90g paper, assuming all would be fine. I had to remake it using 120g paper as the ink showed through. If you use an inkjet printer, use the thicker paper.

Yes, it is important to use thicker paper. Besides the ink showing through, leafing the pages is also another consideration you have to look into.
