Secret Garden: 10th Anniversary Special Edition

As clearly described, this copy of Secret Garden is being re-released for the 10 year anniversary of the original book sparking Johanna Basford's popularity. Also clearly described is the new poster. Yes, it is a double page spread at the end of the book but it's cute, and not in the first book. If you love Johanna Basford and want to support artists who draw their illustrations by hand, the idea of a book with images you already own shouldn't be bothersome. Yes, I already had Secret Garden, but I have a family member who was in need of a new book and doesn't have any JB books but loves flowers. This was a great way to gift the family member a new book, introduce them to JB and support her work by then our chasing this Special Edition copy for myself, which I pre-ordered. The pages are a nice creamy off white color, good thicker pages that should take watercolor and pencil with minimal problem. Decent tooth without feeling too child-like and well-defined lines. With the world of adult coloring being pushed so forcefully into acceptance of cheaply made AI coloring books with discrepancies in images and quality of images, use this opportunity to support artists and their craft. I love the book, the images and the new double page spread.

nice book

Bought as gift. Looks nice and would buy again.

Nice book with good quality paper. It’s like her other books.

Lovely pictures

Love it! It meets my expectations of Johanna Basfords coloring books.

👍🏽

Beautiful coloring book, overall I really like it but I wish the pages were perforated as it can be hard to color when you get close to the binding.

Hatte es mir ähnlich wie "Paradies voller Blumen" erhofft, doch das war nicht der Fall. Die Bereiche zum ausmalen sind so extrem klein, dass man es höchstens mit ständig frisch angespitzten Buntstiften schafft und die Motive selbst sind auch nicht besonders schön. Kleiner Kniff mit den selbst zu malenden Figuren, doch sonst lieblos.

good product

This book is lovely. All the drawings are inspiring and invite me to fill their pages with color. I mainly colour as a hobby, to relax, and this colouring book was the perfect fit. Would buy more.

Het boek is mooi, papier is goed, geen verschil met het oude boek enkel is er een dubbel blad in deze uitgave.

Secret Garden: 10th Anniversary Edition is a truly beautiful colouring book and a wonderful celebration of a modern classic. My wife has taken up colouring as a way to relax and de-stress, and this edition has quickly become one of her most enjoyed books. The illustrations are intricate and elegant without feeling overwhelming, making them perfect for slow, mindful colouring sessions. Each page feels thoughtfully composed, encouraging creativity while still being very calming. The anniversary edition is particularly well presented, with high-quality paper that holds colour well and enhances the overall experience. What really stands out is how immersive and soothing the book is. It’s easy to see why Secret Garden has remained so popular over the years — it offers a genuine sense of escape and relaxation. A must-have for adult colouring fans and a lovely addition to any collection. Highly recommended.
