Mandalas and More Coloring Book Treasury: Beautiful Designs for Relaxation and Focus (Design Originals) 96 Delightful One-Side-Only Designs on Extra-Thick Perforated Paper in a Spiral Lay-Flat Binding Paperback – October 1, 2015

Valentina has done it again! I wish I could give this book ten stars. If you are looking for hours of quality calming coloring this is the book for you! I LOVE all of Valentina's beautiful pictures. They're very detailed and have so much more to offer than your average adult coloring book. From flowers, animals, inspirational quotes, coffee cups, paint brushes, guitars, trees, botanicals, leaves, and I could go on and on for hours! The pictures are quite detailed with a lot of little circles which I feel like really brings your creativity to the surface. This book is one of the ultimate treasury books. Super thick with a spiral bound side. It teaches patterning techniques, coloring techniques, etc. I would have to say there are nearly one hundred pages in this book and you will never find anything boring. The pages are thick there's absolutely no concern for bleed through due to markers or gel pens. Each page can also be torn out neatly and framed or sent to someone whatever you'd like to do with it! On the back of each page there is also an inspirational quote and who doesn't want to see positivity when doing something they love? Some even have facts about different people and what their roles were and what they became famous for etc. if you are looking for the ultimate coloring book order now! You get way more bang for your buck and there isn't one picture you won't enjoy taking on. Your creativity will be all over the place. This book truly is calming to me I have awful anxiety and as soon as I start to feel anxious I pick a page and run with it and it's like your problems just fade a way for a while. I really suggest this book to any and everyone! I love everything about it and I feel like the true color lover will love it just as much! Put your wondering aside and buy this book now, you'll want every book she makes! Such an awesome author and creator!

This books contains a lot of nice mandalas to color and frame.

I looked through a lot of coloring books before choosing this one. It contains a large collection (96 pp) of mandala, floral, bird, and animal inspired designs along with some pre-colored pages for inspiration. Pages are a smooth, medium weight. While I prefer to use colored pencil, I have also used Staedtler fine liner pens without them bleeding through. I especially like the spiral-bound format so that the book lies flat when I am coloring. Pages are perforated for easy removal if you want to share. The only drawback is that perhaps the perforations tear too easily. Liked it so much I sent the same one to my sister.

I'm happy with the book as it's a nice quality. However, most of the coloring images aren't really what I'd consider mandalas.

This is my first encounter with Adult Coloring books, even though I have liked sketching for years. I ordered this and others same day, and I am enjoying the relaxation of doing the coloring and the types of art designs in all of the books.I encourage all to think of these as great ideas for all ages and I am a 75 year old that thinks it is a great gift for Mother's or Grand-Mothers (or Males in the family) as a great Christmas Gift, along with some Gel Pens. I myself think the Sakura Gel pens through Amazon are a great deal.

This book has a lot of nice designs, but they are not mandalas. The title is rather misleading in that aspect. The artist is talented and has a very specific style that she uses in each coloring page. That style is exemplified on the cover page. There are lots of small circles to color in on each page and most pages have sections on lined areas to color as well. I love that the pages are perforated for removal and that the book is spiral bound, so it will lay nearly flat for coloring if you don't want to remove the pages. The pages are all one sided, with a cute quote on the back and an area where you could write something down if you felt so inclined. The paper is thick enough, but I wish it had a bit more tooth for colored pencils.

I have really enjoyed using this book to unwind and take my mind off of things at the end of the day. It's a good quality book and I appreciate the spiral spine so the book lays flat easily.

Great addition to my coloring book collection. The pages are printed on high-quality, extra thick paper that won't bleed through, and the spiral binding makes it nice and easy to color while letting you work on a flat page without the other one being in the way.The designs in this book are beautiful, and you have a lot to work with... there are 96 pages, it's huge! :)
