World of Flowers: A Colouring Book and Floral Adventure

I've bought this about 5 times now and i just love it. Brilliant if you want to get into colouring. the pages don't take alcohol markers, too much bleed through, but pencils, pastels, fine liners, posca pens, sakura gel pens all work great.

I am new to the colouring world but I am enjoying it so much and after my husband bought me a set of colouring pencils the previous christmas I had watched a couple of u tube videos on this book and ordered it. I was not disappointed the paper is thick and the designs invite you to colour them no matter what level you are at as a treat this book is fantastic. I will be looking to buy another one of her books when I am almost finished this one

I love this colouring book the designs are beautiful.

It's difficult to pick a favourite Johanna Basford colouring book, but this one just might edge to that top spot in my personal opinion. This book is the same size as her others (with the exception of Ivy and the Inky Butterfly) the paper is what I'd call a warm white, not cream, but not pure brilliant white, it's smooth and thick enough to feel like quality when your using coloured pencils. It takes watercolour if you use it sparingly and on the dry side to avoid crinkling of the pages. The book literally is a world of flowers, there's a few butterfly's and insects here and there, and some fish and birds, but it's the beautiful studies of flowers that make up the book, I'm delighted with it as I'm sure everyone who buys it will be. One extra bonus feature that i loved from the Enchanted Forest, is the fold out page at the back of the book which features a garden, complete with shed and pond, there's so much detail, it's amazing, and, yet another scene on the reverse! Wonderful. Thank you Johanna, many more hours of relaxation, and that's just from looking at the pictures without colouring them!

Love the images as with all Johanna Basford books. The images are detailed and clear and the paper is substantial. Great colouring books.

I am a huge fan of Joanna Basford and have all of her books (with the exception of the Christmas one). I bought this book off Amazon and to be honest I'm not bothered (usually) if it is the UK or USA edition. I really liked this book and I although I did enjoy Inky & the Butterfly, I do prefer those books that are more adult orientated, but that is just a personal preference. This book is up to her usual standard, the paper quality was good, and the pictures were varied and interesting and was more akin to her earlier editions that her later books. Why did I drop a star then? Well it is the first time I have owned a colouring book that has literally fallen apart on me. It seems that I have a USA edition and these books are glued, not stitched. I have never encountered the issue before so was very surprised one day to find a page coming loose, well that was just the start of it. Before long I had most of the book come apart, so much so that I had to bin it which wasn't great given how much time I had put into colouring it. I then ordered again making sure to get a UK edition and I did check to make sure this one is stitched. I know sometimes there are debates about who get the better paper quality between the UK & USA but I wouldn't swop a stitched book for a glued one again no matter if the paper is better or not. Overall however, the book itself is great and I would recommend.

I love this book. The art is amazing and the paper quality is one of the best.

Johanna’s books are all of a high quality, and she isn’t one of the most prolific colouring books artists for nothing. Even though the book is based around florals, you will find a variety of objects to colour, with everything from simple and basic pages, to mandala pages, wallpaper design patterns and detailed intricate scenes that will show you more and more as you colour and explore. It really does have something for everyone! This book features a dust jacket rather than french flaps which is removable, as won’t get in th way of you when colouring, and the paper is thick enough to take water based markers without bleeding, and a small amount of paint and watercolour.

molto bello, avrei preferito che i disegni fossero solo su una pagina, ma comunque bellissimi
