Pretty as a posie This is a pretty awesome book. I like flowers but don’t love them. I love this book though. I’m not going to spend a lot of time typing. I’m just going to show you some more pictures. That’s the best way to decide if you want something. The covers of the book are beautifully designed as always and the paper is a nice heavy paper as usual. I love, love, love the picture with the flowers in the truck. I would say my least favorite pictures are the Beatles. Thankfully there aren’t many of those. What is your favorite. Update your review once you receive your book. Just curious what picture other people pick as their favorite. I’m going to color my favorite one right now. (Truck picture)Wallpaper w/ a touch of Hanna Karlzon's coloring books as inspiration. Waste of time. If you've never purchased a Hanna Karlzon coloring book, check them out. She has awesome designs. Apparently, Johanna Basford likes her work because many of the pictures in this book resemble images in Ms Karlzon's books, in particular the scarabs. I own many of Johanna Basford's previous coloring books. This book occasionally gives you a touch of her other works. But, many of the pages have large blank spaces. I purchase Johanna Basford's books because she usually provides full pages of unique & whimsical images to color. This book does the opposite. You get a wreath w/ nothing else on the page or a page w/ just 4 flowers on it. Occasionally you get a page or 2 pages together w/ full images. Unfortunately, many of those images resemble my grandmother's wallpaper. I own about 40 coloring books. I have no problem spending upwards of $15 for a good book. I preordered this book expecting something similar to Ms. Basford's previous works. I was quite disappointed in this book. There is nothing new or exciting in this. I may be being harder on Ms. Basford based on her previous works. But, her previous works are the reason I preordered this book. Seriously, too much ugly wallpaper design & inspiriration from other artists. I already own the books by the other artists. I wanted a new Johanna Basford designed book. This isn't it.DISAPPOINTED & I bought an extra for a Christmas present. I have ALL of Johanna’s, Hanna Karlzon, Klara Markova, & Maria Trolle’s (plus other artists’) color books. While l’ve gotten spoiled & now prefer the hardbound books with the excellent grade of paper for coloring, I also love Johanna’s books previous to this one.Also as stated by others, when I opened the book the first time, the binding made a cracking sound & a few of the last pages fell completely out.The paper in this book is very coarse. When I layer the colors (Prismacolor Premier) it’s like they glob on top of each other without spreading and blending together. Just using a single color, I had to bear down to get it spread evenly so it turns out messier than I like. I took a picture of an area where I used a light hand & you can see the paper has a heavy tooth (more texture, better suited for charcoal & pastels). Then I layered white on top, with a heavier hand & the color underneath doesn’t blend, it stacks. I posted another picture from a Klara Markova book where l layered multiple colors & they blended so nicely because the paper is smoother. It’s really a bummer as I don’t enjoy coloring on this type of paper & most likely won’t color any further in this book.I would love a duplicate book with the quality heavy grade paper made for pencils!
