I love adult coloring books, but sometimes the images are so detailed and crowded that it causes more anxiety than it relieves.

Changing the title to 'colouring books FOR adults' would have saved me some disappointment. 😉
Why was Ruth Heller's collection left out? Her designs are beautiful and cover a wide range of topics. I was enjoying her books decades before adult coloring was a thing and I still do.
