This is another coloring book in a series of flower inspired books by Juliana Emerson. The coloring book, as usual, is fun to color and includes a wide variety of flowers both by themselves and also in vases. I must admit that now that I’ve seen Ms. Emerson’s “Fantasy Kingdom” coloring book, I’m hoping that she will do more with fantasy and figures in the future. The flowers are pretty but I’m really impressed by the fantasy book.

The designs have a nice level of detail but are done without backgrounds. That makes them a quicker to color project. The designs all have framing lines which provides for a more finished looking project.

I want to note that the Amazon owned company, CreateSpace is now being folded into KDF (Kindle Direct Publishing.) These independent artist books will move along into the new group shortly if they have not already done so by now. According to what I’ve read, the same warehouses and printing presses will be used. No mention is made of paper but one assumes that it will be the same as well.

I don’t know if the copy I received was printed by CreateSpace or by KDP, but I can say that it is the same paper I am used to receiving (for years now) from CreateSpace. That is: thin, white, slightly rough, and non-perforated. I will continue to check books as I receive them and will note, in new reviews, if the quality changes.
