Amazon does this. My wife published a coloring book for those suffering cognitive decline, they are print to order, though we have a small batch here on hand to give out as well. Hers is laid out like a book though, idk about this layout ---

Interesting. Does amazon require the print to be submitted as an indesign file or would a simple PDF suffice I wonder. ---

If you’re using one yoyo, that isn’t 2A. 3A players use unresponsive yoyos and you wrote they use responsive yoyos. Using two responsive yoyos would technically still be 3A but no one is doing that on stage. Both 4A and 5A can use 1 or more yoyos and that isn’t mentioned Idk if we’re talking styles, maybe say like looping, offstring, freehand, string tricks, two yoyo string tricks or something bc the \_A designations do have strict definitions bc they only exist in the context of contests. You can see how the iyyf defines them here > **[Freestyle Rules Summary – World YoYo Contest 2024](https://wyyc2024.com/divisions/freestyle-rules/)** Probably easiest to just say 1a-5a are contest divisions and use their definitions and then make a point to mention the alt styles like 0a, hydra, floop etc. ---

Files are updated! I fixed 2A and 3A, and put a note on how these are contest divisions, and are a good way to explain the most popular styles of play. ---

this yoyo wiki article is a decent source of information to look at > **[Styles Of Play](https://yoyo.fandom.com/wiki/Styles_Of_Play)** > > This page lists some of the yo-yo styles you will come across. This list is not complete but covers all of the most common styles and a few of the more outrageous ones. This page should serve to give you ideas of new ways to play. It should be noted... some of the styles in it are probably too obscure to really be worth mentioning in your case but there’s some good stuff in there ---
