Simple mandalas, nice drawings, quality book, just not for me
I am giving this book five stars despite the fact that I returned it. It is a wonderful book if you enjoy simple, easy mandalas. I prefer more advanced, intricate designs like those in this author's other two manadala books. I have those books and love, love them.<br /><br />This book is high-qualify. It is spiral bound at the top with nice paper. There is a sheet of waxy paper between each page to catch any bleed-through. When coloring mandalas in one of the author's other books,  I also put a piece of blank paper behind the waxy divider to be on the safe side when I was coloring with alcohol markers. The paper is pretty thick and between that and the waxy paper, nothing bled through to the blank page, but you might try that the first time just to be safe. The paper is thicker than most books and the divider page in between each drawing is super nice. I wish all books were made this way. You get fewer mandalas in this book overall than you do in most coloring books, but the quality of the book makes up for that and makes it worth the price. I would prefer a nicer book with fewer images over a sloppy book that crams as many images into it as possible.<br />If you enjoy simple mandalas that are well-drawn and appreciate hand-drawn artwork to color, this book will be good for you. If you prefer designs that are a bit more advanced, I suggest checking out the other two mnadala books by this same author. I sent this one back because the mandalas were not for me, but I know that many will like these. I"m glad that the author created a variety of styles for everyone.
