ColorIt Mandalas Volume IX Spiral Bound Adult Coloring Book with 50 Mandala Patterns for Relaxation and Stress Relief - Includes Perforated Pages, Thick Paper, Hardback Covers, and Blotter Page

Great paper quality! Nice and thick plus the book has spiral binding with perforations for easy removal of pics for framing. I love the variety of mandala styles. Some are more detailed and others are larger. Each offers a different coloring experience. With the less detailed mandalas, I can explore shading with alcohol markers and colored pencils. The more detailed mandalas are great for gel pens and markers. I like this book so much that when I finish it, I will buy it again. For all you fellow coloring addicts out there in Amazonland, this is honestly a really great book and I am picky.

I love this series of coloring books for adults. The ring bindings and perforated pages make it easy to travel with, color in, and tear out pages you may want to frame or give to people. The book is thick so you don’t need a table or desk. The paper is very high quality so it’s good for multiple media types, such as gel pens and alcohol markers. Always use a blotter page no matter what, just incase(even though it may not bleed, alcohol markers may if you color on the same area for a long time). The first picture I provided is the first page of the book that I colored in using glitter gel pens. Then a blank page to show what some of the art may look like(all images are different) I love this book, and the blissful scenes one! 10/10 recommend! The price is high for a coloring book BECAUSE it is high quality. That’s how you know it’s a good coloring book. The thick quality paper and book, beautiful art work, and price are signs of a good well put together coloring book geared toward adults but children can color in them too if they wanted. Typically coloring books that are $7 aren’t that great quality. So keep that in mind. It’s $19-21 USD because it’s worth that. If you get it on sale, even better but it is worth every penny, in my honest opinion. Happy coloring!

Of all the adult coloring books I’ve used, this brand, ColorIt, uses the best quality drawing paper. It’s not flimsy and doesn’t warp when covered in gel pen ink. The book comes with a blotter page just in case. Alcohol markers will probably bleed through so use it but I haven’t tried those kind of pens. I like that the spiral binding is at the top and is perforated. The front and back cover is thick cardboard and feels very sturdy. The drawings are beautiful and fun to color. This probably won’t be the last ColorIt book I buy. I have two different mandalas and the dragon coloring books as well as this one so far and they are my favorites. Update: I added more photos of my mandalas and I’ve bought a couple more ColorIt books, Steampunk and goddesses. Those will be fun to color!

Every single thing about this (and any ColorIt books) is top notch. The art is higher tier and superior to any other books on the market. The paper is thicker and perforated, which is perfect for framing or keeping in a book. I had 3 books under this brand in my wish list for a few months because I just couldn't justify paying more than a few dollars for a coloring book. I thought I would try some lower priced books and was repeatedly disappointed. The saying buy nice or buy it twice applies here because I paid the cost of this one high quality book for 7 other low quality books that I hated. The paper in lower quality books is thin and often textured low quality paper. I wanted to create gifts and I kept coming back to wanting these books. When I realized what I would save in having nice pages to give away as gifts I went for it. If I had just purchased the finer quality item first I wouldn't have paid double the cost of one of these books. On top of that I had these low quality books that I just gave away (to a hospital). Basically if you have money you could just throw away... buy other lower priced books lol Because once I bought these books I can't accept lower quality. What I love: Hardcover Paper quality Artwork Variety Value What I don't love: Y'all, there isn't a single thing I don't love about these books!! If there is a "downside" (not really lol) ... I'm obsessed! I color every day and take these with me when I have time to fill. In ending, these books are beyond incredible. My creative flow has broadened since buying these and my anxiety has decreased. I feel these books are more artistic and I'm expanding my art skills from "coloring books" to artistic techniques. I use colored pencils that are both standard and metallica. I will buy more!

Something different for me. I have painted for years but have a new puppy that takes up my time. This is something easy to do and I can put it down and go back and do more coloring. Great quality and fun to do!

Great quality as always from Colorit in the paper they use as well as the hard back covers and beautiful mandala designs.

Very satisfied with this coloring book. Love that it is spiral bound as I usually like to turn the picture around when coloring. Paper is good quality for markers and drawings are varied for beginners to experienced users.

Resembling some of the better coloring books I've had, I ordered this one, got it in the mail and just jumped right in! Oh yeah, this one has some good designs and they're printed on GREAT paper! Here's the first one I did...I wanted to go ahead and review so I can get serious and do some major coloring. Here's a sample of their designs. You won't go wrong with this one! (gotta run, I've got to do some serious coloring today!
