12 animal designs on a large format page, to fill with stickers to make an elegant image.(Although the product information currently says there are 15 designs, there are only 12.)This book is similar to the "Paint-by-sticker" series - you fill in a page by finding the labelled sticker to fit in its designed spot. There are some differences that make it superior in my opinion. (I used Paint by Sticker Masterpieces: Re-create 12 Iconic Artworks One Sticker at a Time! for my comparison.- First, Animetrics page is larger: 10" x 14.5" versus 9" x 12".- Second, as other reviewers noted, Animetrics has a colored border around each sticker position. This allows you not to worry as much about placing the stickers exactly and tightly together (as they seem to warp a little, this is not as easy as it sounds), because the colored border will be a background for any small gap. In fact the images are designed for the stickers to be slightly separated in a mosaic-like effect. Don't think that this makes it too easy though! You still need to be somewhat careful putting the sticker in the middle of its spot so no white shows through.- Third: the stickers are just numbered, so I found finding them easier than the Letter-number approach. (There can be hundreds of stickers for a single page,)- Fourth, the stickers have multiple colors on them, not just one. So the designs can be more visually complex without multiplying the stickers. It's another reason why there are colored borders on the background page, so you can see how to orient the sticker correctly. You can reposition them but it may mean they are wrinkled or creased..- Finally I find the designs to be just more elegant, both in the central image and in the choice of the solid color backgrounds.Only the sticker pages are perforated. All the image pages are single-sided. The pages are held together by a string binding so you can cut the string and disassemble it easily for hanging the images or framing them. Label the sticker pages if you do take the book apart before you finish all the design - the sticker pages are in the same order as the image pages but have no titles.
