A quick flip through of this coloring book from Fabiana Attanasio. It is a book of Tarot, Astrology and Mythical symbols. The book is one sided so you can use alcohol markers. The pages are perforated if you prefer to remove them from your book prior to coloring. The paper is good, while not heavy duty, it is of good quality, much like that of Kerby Rosanes books.

Join me on YouTube and look at each page to see if this is the coloring book for you or just to relax and appreciate the fun images
