Is this the most wonderful colouring book ever?
Doesn’t it make your fingers itch to colour?

It’s the work of artist Johanna Basford interviewed here.
I immediately added it to the birthday books to buy list and two of my friends are getting this book with a pack of oil paint pencils for Christmas.

I’ve always loved colouring. Lately I’ve read where psychologists are recommending colouring as a relaxation and stress management technique because it takes focus away from worries. Psychologist Gloria Martínez Ayala says that when we colour, we activate different areas of our two cerebral hemispheres. “The action involves both logic, by which we color forms, and creativity, when mixing and matching colors.”
As if I needed an excuse to buy this book.

I love it too. My only worry is some of the reviews I've read on Amazon re the quality of the paper etc. I wish they would put out a book we could copy, then print for our own purposes, as one reviewer suggested.
