"What qualifies this (or any) as an "adult" coloring book?"

My wife has got into these and uses them to relax.  She has several and when her girlfriends come over, they will all get into them, even revisiting the pieces till they are finished.  

I will add to JB's comment, based on my wife's books, that the subject matter and the required attention to detail make them ill-appropriate for the youth market. 

My wife's first coloring book was from the series Outlander. The is a subject that we would not let your 10 year old watch, or read the novels, for sure. 

On the other hand, there are Harry Potter adult coloring books. While the content is perfectly suited for all ages, the lines and spacing require an adept hand and an attention to detail that could be frustrating to the average child. Though I just discovered that the Harry Potter books are still put out by Scholastic, so what do I know?

My pair just arrived!

Holy cats, JB!  These are gorgeous!!

I'm going to leave one uncolored, but I suspect after I finish one, I may want more.  One for Prismacolors, and maybe Copic airbrush for another?

Got it from Amazon today.  Looks so nice.  First off, I am so happy to see a JB drawn book again!  Second, I am not going to color it (BTW who colored the cover? so nice).

JB, do you know when does the book comes out in Canada?  I ordered one as a Xmas gift on Amazon's Canadian website to save on postage, but apparently it is not out yet.

===

Nevermind.  I see on the page that it says Dec 6.  I assume that is the release date.

Yay, finally received my two copies here in the UK from Amazon. I want to savour it so won't look all the way through it until Christmas I think.

I enjoyed the story.

I wonder how long our protagonist will remain satisfied with things as they are
at tale's end?
