Coloring book

I want to publish a children's coloring book in landscape. It doesn't have a lot of pages and I am not sure what format to use as the standard paperback has a minimum number of pages which is way too many. Also, the paper quality needs to be able to take crayons.
Help!

I moved you to print books.

As for the question, saddle stitch and coil binding do offer much lower page count minimums. Coil is really nice for a coloring book, so long as you don't have any spread images, since it allows the pages to lay flat.

What do you class as not a lot of pages?

Page count can be increased, though.

Do you have a Title Page?

That can be followed by a blank.

Do you have a Copyright page?

So can that.

It is also a good idea to have consecutive pages in colouring books blank also.

I would assume page count also needs to be divisible by four.

Watch what option you select in Create, because if you want an ISBN and Distribution, not all options can have them. (The ones with the tick can.)

US Letter Perfect Bound Paperback is a good size, and can have an ISBN, but you will need to get your page count to at least 32. 

The paper Lulu's printers use is often thicker and whiter than is found in most mass printed books.

And oh, you can always create more art

obviously I am talking about a print book even though this question is classified as an ebook one

BTW. I know you said Landscape, but it's no hindrance to have to turn a book on its side to use it.

Thanks for the ideas with increasing page count. There is a story wrapped into the artwork but I guess a blank page in between is not a train smash! So can I do a coil binding and get an ISBN? I like the idea of the coil for laying flat to work in.

You cannot distribute a coil bound book so there would be no point it having an ISBN.

It is pretty common for coloring books to have a blank page between the art work.
