Bought for a friend who is having surgery and loves to color, yes she's a grown up. The drawings are lovely and using good quality colored pencils and pastel pencils really enhances. If you don't want dark lines in the finished product try photocopying the image and reduce the density.

I got my first dover coloring book about 30 years ago and have been hooked. I now have a collection of about 20. They are kind of hard to find in retail and when you do the selection is poor.

I find coloring to be very relaxing when you are stressed. I also cannot just watch tv I like to be doing crochet or cross stitching, coloring.

These books are very well done as far as the drawings are concerned. They can be very intricate. Some are made more for children but many would be hard for a child under say 10yrs old to do and feel good about.

They are best done with colored pencils as you can get really good at shading and make them really pretty.

I highly recommend this and many others. I do own this specific book.

My granddaughter loves to color and she wanted to help me make a quilt. Since she is too young to tackle the entire quilt-making process but she's very neat at coloring, I had her color these illustrations using colored pencils. Then I ran off her colored pictures on printer-friendly fabric, added some embroidery, and made a lovely attic-window quilt. Besides being an attractive quilt, it gives her a great sense of accomplishment because her skill is so prominent in it.

Amazon undoubtedly has the best coloring books. I feel like I found a treasure because whenever I'm out and about I am always looking for wonderful coloring books and never find them. This is where I shop from now on.
