Hi Odin.well done on selection!
Do not get the Gray's Anatomy-that is not the coloring book.
It is simply called "The Anatomy Coloring Book". I would also recommend it's companionj-"The Physiology Coloring Book"
That being said, do not skimp on your "colors"-spend about 20 dollars and get a quality set of colored pencils. It will be well worth the effort and memory.
Stay away from crayons and pastels...just get some good colored pencils and use them.

The correspondence course is a good starting point. Between that and the coloring books, you should be pretty busy. Don't bog yourself down with a bunch of extra "KNOWLEDGE" that will be out of file in your noodle.
A tabers cyclopedic medical dictionary is a quality first purchase as well.

Good luck...study hard.
