I bit the bullet and bought some pens too. I'll try and add a link... Secret garden... Inky treasures
the books are hard to find. They're going for big bucks on ebay. I managed to get two from Barnes and noble. I guess they are all the rage.... Attachments:

They had them at my local Paper Source today. They're beautiful. I am interested to hear how the paper stands up to ink. I was thinking about colored pencils.

shes says to just put a sheet of paper behind each drawing when coloring it. |

Me too - off to see if they're available in the UK I do too - and the pens JoP!!  Someone I know got 'Secret Garden' and 'Animal Kingdom' in the UK, along with Spectrum Noir pencils and they looked amazing! She spent a fair part of Sunday afternoon using them and thoroughly enjoyed herself! With my luck though, everyone in the country will have wanted these recently and they will be sold out and it will be weeks before more stocks arrive.  |

My mom used to love to color. I was just thinking about finding one the other day. Someone gave me a picture to color at work for a joke, and I was pleasantly surprised at how calming it was. What kind of pens did you get?

OMG! I need this now! I love to color, and the designs are so beautiful. Does anyone know if Michael's carries the pens/pencils that she uses? I have watercolor pencils in my stash…I wonder if those would be good???

I was just reading the reviews on Amazon. The paper is supposedly low quality and most markers bleed through. There are images on the backs of the pages so this would create an issue. Some have made suggestions on what markers/pens etc to use. The reviewers all said how beautiful the book is and yet most were not happy at all with the quality of the paper.
That didn't stop me from ordering 2 from Amazon for my 2 adult daughters. They love to color if they get stressed from work etc. I don't think they will be picky about the paper.
* You can be placed on a back order from Amazon. They won't charge your card until the item will be shipped. They will also email you when the item is in. I did it this way being that they will be Christmas gifts for my girls.

I was just listening to a podcast from Satellite Sisters and they were talking about the books. I would love to try one. Those reviews about the quality of the paper are a bit disheartening tho. Off to check them out.
