Bought as a gift and well received. This is a hard backed book full of pictures to colour and also some pages with less decoration so you can either colour them simply or add your own doodles to enhance them. The pictures have quite heavy printing on them so the pictures are ideal for those with less than perfect eyesight. Some of the pages already have some colour on them which could be a little off putting to some but I didn’t see this a problem. As the book is hard backed it is ideal for using on your lap in a comfy chair rather than sat at a table.

This is my introduction to grown up colouring books and I am very impressed.
The book contains such beautiful and stunning pictures to use, ranging from animals, buildings, flowers and many more.
I have now got the complete ‘Art Therapy’ set and it has been keeping my spare time filled with fun, creativity and relaxation.
You can choose whether to colour a little bit at a time or sit for at least a solid hour because the pictures are do varied in style, theme and size, the pages a very durable and are suitable to use felt tip pens on them.

Saw these adult colouring books being discussed on breakfast TV. So glad I bought both the books in this range. For the price the books are real quality – both the cover and the paper and they can be displayed on the bookshelf with pride. I bought pencils which can be used with water but the paper is so good you could use proper water colours on both sides. I can’t wait to snuggle up in front of the tele on Christmas Day when things become boring – about 4pm for me. I usually do crosswords but with this you can completely relax. The pictures are quite complex but could still be enjoyed with the kids – as long as you aren’t a perfectionist in which case you might become a bit obsessed!

Wonderful! My mum got this book for Christmas, and within about 2 minutes of looking at it with her, it became abundantly clear that I needed to get myself one too. This book is amazing, and it really does do what it says on the cover: it’s totally anti-stress, and wonderfully relaxing to just sit and colour in. The paper is high-quality, meaning that you don’t get any felt-tip marks seeping through to the next page. There is a great variety and range of images, from intricate patterns, abstract shapes, animals, cities, boats, masks, chairs… A lot of the images have a looseness to them – they look drawn, rather than precise and mechanical, which I found really made me stop worrying about making a mistake, or going over the lines, and just enjoy making something bright and wonderful. I also really like how some small sections on some pages are already coloured in – it takes away that daunting feeling of making a mark on an otherwise black and white page! Absolutely fantastic – each page is a delight, and the hard cardboard backing means colouring on either side feels exactly the same. When I’ve finished this, I will definitely need another one. Well worth the money – it’s an excellent investment in just enjoying yourself!

I only paid £4.99 for mine so don’t know whether it was a used or returned item but could find nothing wrong with it. That said, if I had paid full price I wouldn’t have been disappointed as I think it will last a really long time. I love doing my own drawing but suffer with chronic fatigue and often don’t feel up to drawing. I find this book an absolute god send for times when I feel like being creative but don’t have the energy. It has also given me inspiration and ideas for my own work. I don’t mind that a lot of the designs have some colours already filled in as it’s a helpful guide when I’m too tired to think. They can also be coloured over. There are some nice sections where you can get creative with your own designs. I’ve not attempted this yet but it’s nice to know they’re there. The nicest thing is being able to sit back, relax and colour in because the book is hard backed and sturdy. I found it very relaxing, spent a couple of weeks with the book and have been getting back into my own drawings since, so the therapy worked in more ways than one.

If you want just to colour in without worrying about the accuracy of paint by numbers this is a superb book for whiling away the time when you have a few minutes to spare. The first section has sections to colour in some in very fine detail with some sections completed to give suggestions. You can either take time and care to produce some very good colouring in or just fill in what you like. The rear section although some lines is much more free form and suitable for doodling.
The paper is good quality and will be OK for coloured pencils or felt tip as the paper does not soak through. It is a hardback book which will help to protect the pages when not in use.
There are 60 pages or 120 sides to colour in so many hours of relaxation.
An excellent colouring book to relax and detach from the world around you.
