I saw this on my 'recommended' shelf; I didn't realise you can track colouring books. This book is actually insane. I'm not even going to pretend I've finished a quarter of it because it is so ridiculously detailed.
My advice is buy a strong packet of colouring utensils (I prefer felt tips) and mark out clear times for this because it's going to take forever. I'm not going to have an end date for when I'm going to finish this because I have no idea. A page of the colouring book usually takes me a day. (I know, right?)
On top of the details, there are also clues scattered through the book from the cases (from series 1-3, excluding the Christmas special) and only colouring can uncover the clues. Collins has been evil and scattered the clues across cases that it doesn't belong to. For pages you won't find the clue and then you'll be colouring a wall or the side of a table and you'll find it. It's deeply satisfying.
I have a love/hate relationship with this colouring book but it is definitely a brilliant present and a must-have for all Sherlockians.
