:) If you like coloring intricate patterns, as I do, then this book is for you. I liked the challenging geometric shapes. The patterns in this book are not something you would want to frame in your house. BUT they are very challenging and you will get an overwelming feeling of awe after you color one of these pictures. I would recommend it only if you like coloring geometric, 3D patterns.

Do you want to know how much I love this book? I love this book so much I bought one for everyone on my Christmas list last year...EVERYONE! Add a box of colored pencils and there are endless hours of fun and creativity for everyone, male and female, all ages! And since no two pictures will turn out alike, endless hours of sharing are possible! Not only that, but when you are finished, you can order another one, start all over again, and it will never look the same way twice! Endless healing hours of stress relief cover every page! Enjoy!

Although the book has interesting designs, they are too simple for what I am looking for. Most of the designs don't offer the posibility of coloring them in different ways to achieve different results. If you are looking for designs that REALLY defy your creativity look for the "Altair Design" and the "Roger Burrows" books...

The book was in perfect condition. I like the designs very much, however, there's one big draw back: markers bleed through so whatever is on the back of the page you've colored is pretty much ruined.

This is the second book I have done from this autor...pretty simple designs with few exceptions though...I guess every autor has its own settled designing style...I am not sure I would by a third book from this autor...

Only Ruth Heller's "designs for coloring:geometrics" book beats this one, and not by much. You will want to copy almost every one of these 5 times. the possibilities are mindblowing and the paradoxical nature of the designs equally so. I'm afriad to color any of them untill they have been copied. That is actually the only drawback I can see. Hard to believe but that is what brings it down to a 4 to me: I can't use this yet. These designs, at first glancs, appear deceptively simplistic. believe me they are trickier than you think. Take your time to study them before you do anything.

Made the perfect gift for my coloring crazy niece who had never seen anything like this before.

I bought this for my daughter and the Salvation Army Christmas Angel that we adopted this year. Both girls wanted art supplies. I think they both will be very happy. I really liked the book and will buy more in the future.

My daughter loves this book... not for coloring!
She uses it for various projects.
