I found this lovely adult coloring book at Barnes and Noble. It has tons of hidden pieces of jewelry you can color and there is space where you can draw your own things into it. I used color pencils in it and drew some things in it from a ballerina girl to a peter pan and tinker belle picture. It was a joy to color in and if you enjoy pictures of nature which is flowers and animals and other things, then definitely check it out. You can get this book at Barnes and Noble and at other online and other book retailers.

I am thrilled to have won this book via goodreads first reads giveaways!

I have been interested in the trend of "grown-up" coloring books, and have been wanting to try one out for myself for a while. This book is much better quality than a children's coloring book. The cover is sturdy and gorgeous and the pages are of a nice quality as well. Even the theme for this book is wonderful, forest scenes with hidden jewels? Brilliant! However, I have noticed the coloring pages themselves are so detailed and small, they are almost impossible to actually color in. You will need an incredibly fine-tipped pen or sharpened colored pencil to do anything with most of these pages. The line art in some of the images is incredibly fine, where I personally prefer to color within thick, black lines. This could probably be solved if the images were scaled up and the coloring book were larger, but as it is, it is a major issue for me. Overall, the quality of this book is astounding but the use-value was disappointing to me. For now, children's coloring books suffice.

Tangle Wood is a beautiful Adult Coloring Book and one of the nicest coloring books, that I have seen. It has amazing drawings, great paper, a throw in your bag and go size and a nice heavy cover that will take being toted around in your bag. This is one of those books that when you receive it, you won't want to color in it, for fear of messing it up. Do yourself a favor and put some color on the pages, you will enjoy the experience. My 2nd copy to gift and 3rd copy for me, will arrive this week.

This book is actually pretty cool. There's all sorts of fine details and intricate designs. As a former Art School Student, I'm totally loving this. I don't know if it's technically legal for me to suggest to people to photocopy parts of the book, but I think that as long as it's for your own purpose, you may benefit from this. Because of how small some of those details are, I can see people who are not careful making a mistake and I would hate to have a mistake made in such a beautiful book.

All in all, really cool and pretty coloring book.

I won this book on Goodreads giveaway. I was very excited to receive my copy since I have worked on a number of adult coloring books. This is one of my favorite books. The illustrations are beautiful and very detailed. Paper quality is fantastic and I am using color pencils and good sharpener. If you love nature then this is definitely the book for you, from enchanting flowers to magical creatures.

I had been looking at this book every time I saw it, so I was ecstatic when I won it.

With that being said, this book is beautiful. The pictures are so intricate and detailed that I know I'm going to spend hours coloring them all in, and the book itself is nice and sturdy. I showed all my friends when I got it and they loved it as well!

I won this book in a goodreads giveaway!! Yay!! I'm SO excited that I won this book. The pages are beautiful and it really IS so calming to sit down and just immerse myself in coloring them. Love it. Highly recommend.

Captivating indeed, an absolute favourite. I looooove the paper, with a little bit of more tooth than the rest of the colouring books. My Lyra Rembrandt colouring pencils work very fine with it. The illustrations are great, some of them are more detailed, some of them not so you can choose according to how much time you want to spend colouring a page.. I just love the whimsical woodland theme. Love, love, love!

This isn't a book to read, it's a coloring book for adults or older children. The designs are on the complicated side with lots of detail. It's on the same trend as those other coloring books for adults, but it's not as intricate or as beautiful as the others. There's still a bit of an amateurish vibe to the art style but it's not that bad. I still like it and I will still find the time to color it all. I say I've read it, but there's nothing to read except to just drink in the sights of illustrations on the pages. They're still pretty and I'll get to coloring it eventually.

Awesome to win this colouring book through Goodreads. Loved the Colouring Book. The binding is fabulous and well put together with beautiful drawings to color.
