Rainbow Brite Treasury

I'm looking to get ahold of this book and I do know where I can get it.

My question is what should I look for, condition wise? Was there anything in the book that was meant to be colored or written on, such as coloring pages or puzzles. I've seen the info on both RB sites, but I want to make sure about that above question before I go and just buy it. Also, how many pages does the book contain?

Thanks for any help!

The Treasury has 144 pages.

It has the character introductions, and "Story" versions of
"The Beginning of Rainbow Land"
"Peril in the Pits"
and "The Mighty Monstromurk"

In between the stories you will find crafts, games, and puzzles. What you need to look out for are the "word puzzles" and such, because people will mark on the pages. Circle answers, or write on the pages. There are not any colour pages in this book. Some people may even "Cut" some of the pages, though I would hope they wouldn't. the "Spinner" for example says to trace the image out, but someone may cut it out too, so if you need to ask about particular pages, do so.

Here is the Table of Contents to show you what to expect.

This helps a lot. Now if only the seller will respond to my original question I sent two nights ago I'd be good. I know what to ask about whenever they do!

All right so it looks like I'm gonna be getting it from the seller. She emailed me back, stating that she'd been through the book and could not see any faults with the pages. The front cover is slightly worn, but any marks could be removed with a quick wipe if any. I think I'm gonna go for it.

I dunno if Fan knew about that or not, but she was teasing me :) We tend to chat online now in the evenings and she torments me with ideas, haha
