Got a magic colouring book? I need your help.

No I don't need help with how to perform it, I am just wondering how many "images" are there in yours. I want to make one using imagery that would make sense in a slightly more mature performance. (Architectural imagery, not porn) But want to strike a balance between blanks and images. Too few and it may come off a bit hokey, too many and it will be expensive as heck to get made up.
Is 30 pages going to be enough? 10 blank, 10 black/white and 10 full colour? Or am I going to need more?

Allthough I don;t have the colouring book I do have the stamp album which is the same effect.

It's worth checking this out.

I have the 'Eddy' Magic Colouring book which I bought in Blackpool this year from 'Jimbo' aka Jimmy Carlo ( http://www.jimbosmagic.co.uk/index.php )who reckoned it was the dog's danglies of such books. There are 8 double pages of each of the blank, outline and coloured images, i. e 16 sides - hope that make sense!

Certainly does Mandrake buddy, cheers for that. The general consensus I am picking up from various sources is that 7 should be enough, which is handy as I am planning on it being a three way book, so 21-24 "pages" sounds affordable.
