A Little Secret About ‘Adult Coloring Books’

Since I have self published five ‘Coloring Books For Adults’, I will do my best to remain unbiased in the following rant. (Ya, sure I will.  After all, I’m Aunty V …)

Here’s what I want to talk about.

Not all coloring books are created equal.  And there are so many choices out there, it’s hard to decide what to look at next!

When you break it down, there are lots of books out there, but while we would like to believe that each and every coloring book is packed with original and unique, hand drawn illustrations, the truth is, not every coloring book is. For every book that is totally original, I would be willing to bet there are hundreds, if not thousands of other coloring books for adults out there that are “compiled” by someone who buys the rights to ordinary clip art and stock images,  and puts it  together and calls it a ‘coloring book for adults’. The same  images can be found in hundreds of different books, with different names of authors because of this. There’s  a lot of people taking advantage of the ‘coloring craze’ who are churning out these books day after day.

Some people don’t mind that. Some people do.

If you like to find unique images you’ll never find in other books,  look for words like, “hand drawn”, “original”, “unique”…etc. Look on the cover and/or listings for those words before you take the time to ‘look inside the book’ or worse yet, buy the book, and you won’t waste your time and money wading through a bunch of clip art and stock images.

Oh… WHILE I’M TALKING ABOUT SECRETS…. I have a new book coming up… it’s a big SECRET.. and I can’t wait to tell the world about it!

Let’s just say, it’s all original, with hand drawn images, and a little twist…!
