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

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!

It has nice designs and nice dry paper vs. waxy paper that some books have that will alter the color. The only thing I personally dislike is the full page pictures but there’s only a random amount. I love the spiral part because it’s easy to lay flat. I hope this company makes more volumes. The latest volume I had bought had too many tiny details and were more complex. So this book is better since the designs are easy to moderate enough to be creative which is what I like. I have colored every ColorIt coloring book! Some more than once. Great brand, but pricey.

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.

Best quality adult coloring book that I’ve found.

First, thank you to ColorIt for continuing to create quality products! I have all of the Mandala series, some of them twice. I love the hard cover, top spiral binding, quality paper, and varied designs. This latest, Volume VIII, has prompted me to review it specifically. Volume VIII is frustrating! There are some stunningly beautiful and complex patterns here, but also too many extremely simple ones that just aren’t challenging. Too many of them run off the edges of the page. I wish ColorIt would grade their books by complexity, so beginners and experts alike could choose a book that was suited to their skill level. All in all, there are about a third in this book that are too simple, some more that run off the page (irritating to color!), and a few that are unbelievably complex with tiny patterns - hard to see, and almost impossible to find a pen or pencil fine enough to do them justice. However, the patterns in this collection which are at the complex level I love, are stunningly beautiful!

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!

If you need an adult coloring book, look no farther you've found the best! I bought all of these! I believe there are 4 or 5. I got them for my mom when she was in her late 80's to keep her creative flow going. After she finished the 4th or 5th one I bought the first one again. The paper is Barthes best! The markers don't bleed through which is very important! Also the spiral binding made the book open flat. I bought great TomBow markers for her to use. She had all the colors. Through all the books she filled I could see how it wasn't easy for her to stay in the lines as she got older. She was always so excited to show me her pictures when I went to her house. To see all the color combinations she used. She was very artistic, this was great for her to do when she was no longer able to make her original water color note cards. Kept her brain occupied ❤️

Beautiful, intricate patterns. I am using both colored pencils and markers and the colors are not bleeding through the paper.

I liked the quality of the paper; the spiral format was useful for ease of colouring.

Brilliant book.

I love these mandala books. The designs vary in intricacy, but are all wonderful to colour. Paper is thick and each one can be removed, with the designs being only on one side. I am on to my third book now and it has been especially useful during our lockdowns here in Australia.

No complaints first time ordering this Mandalas, pages are nice and thick.
