The Mindfulness Coloring Book, Volume Two: Anti-Stress Art Therapy

I didn't know anything about adult coloring books. Reviews mentioned type of paper, perforated pages, etc. I got 5! I chose how well I liked the content, rather than choosing perforation, etc. I searched amazon for hours the past couple weeks, pretty tiring. Then put some of the Cart coloring books into Saved for Later. I looked and re-looked! This was a win. The coloring books arrived today, and I gave all 5 of them 5 stars! Truly, each was a 5. I MUST SAY, I'VE BEEN SURPRISED AT REVIEWS WHERE THE PERSON SAYS THEY DIDN'T KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT AN ITEM, although it was mentioned in the ad. WELL, IT HAPPENED TO ME ON THIS ITEM! This is a SMALL , compact, mini book. It was delivered a couple hours ago, and I have kept looking at it. I realize I can easily take it on a plane with me! Also, I opened it at the midsection, and folded those 2 halves backwards. Then, I divided those halves, and bent those portions all the way back, and continued a couple more times with smaller portions. The binding stayed in tact, but it successfully "opened" this book for successful coloring when in a tight space like a plane. At first I wanted to return it - but a couple hours later I realized it's advantages. I like this coloring book more than Moments of Mindfulnesswhich also arrived today. I gave both a 5 rating. However, this Volume 2 ---for Busy People gets a super-high 5 rating from me!

I like to color with colored pencils and I like to get them nice and sharp but even with the finest point I can manage with a manual sharpener, these designs are way too small to acurately color. Someday I might try it with some fine point markers but until then it’s just going to take up space in my coloring basket.

Love the pictures, but I wish it had perforated pages or a spiral binding. The way the book is bound makes it frustrating to color the edges of the pictures near the spine of the book.

This small-format coloring book is great for traveling. I love the variety of intricate lines and nature-themed designs - this is exactly the style of coloring I enjoy. I've used colored pencils and markers (Tombow, Crayola, Artist's Loft) and have not experienced any bleed-through as the paper is thick enough for ink. If you layer on the color thickly with markers or use Sharpies, it will bleed through. For example, my Prismacolor markers bleed through this paper, so I don't use them. The book binding doesn't bother me; I find with fine-point markers and sharp colored pencils, I can color close to the binding without marking the neighboring page. Spiral-bound would probably be a better idea for this type of book, but I still enjoy it thoroughly the way it is.

I loved the first volume, so I decided to buy the second volume. The designs in the first book were great, and I think the designs in the second volume are even better. They're more polished and refined overall, and there's more variety in subject matter and patterns. The only thing that I noticed that was different from the first book is the print quality. The design prints are slightly more pixelated for some reason. You can barely tell at a glance, but when you're coloring in the small details for hours, well, you start noticing the details. The first volume had very sharp and crisp lines, and I would've thought the second volume would have the same quality. You can't really tell after everything's colored in though, so the book still gets 5 stars from me.

I purchased several of these to place in my exam rooms in a medical clinic instead of outdated magazines. I love that it relaxes people while they wait. I also like the beautiful notes some patients have left for others to see. They were a little "too" popular at first and I lost a few to sticky fingers. Overall, I will continue to buy these when I run out. Great purchase in a handy little size.

I really enjoyed this coloring book. The patterns are not too complex that they're hard to follow when trying to stick to a color scheme. The title is not misleading as I often use this book to calm my stress and anxiety by being mindful of the coloring. This was my first "adult coloring book" and I was not disappointed. The only reason I did not give this product 5 stars is because the book is much smaller than I expected it to be.

The size of this coloring book is a plus for me it’s small enough to fit in my purse the pages vary with different objects to color and I feel each page to be therapeutic.

Muy lindo, lo unico que no me gusto mucho es que los dibujos estan por delante y detras de las hojas, asi que no puedes usar algo de traspase el papel. Y batallas un poco para pintar cerca del centro por el empaste

Nice design but disappointed with the size and not a suitable binding for colouring. Ring bind would have suitable. Guess I was expecting at least a4 size

Great size. Some really easy pages that are quick to do, others that take more time.My friend liked it so much that I bought her a copy.

Really like this book. It is nice and compact and a good starter colouring book, not too detailed. Only issue is that some of the pictures go into the crease of the book and its hard to colour in. Otherwise really enjoyed it.

These are my favourite colouring books! Lots of variety On each page (and in each book - there are 3 now) and fits in a purse!
