Like all the titles in this series, this coloring book is extremely high quality. I own almost all of them, and consider them my "special" books, only to be colored once in a while, or I'd blow through them very fast and be left with nothing special. Mid-century Modern Mania lives up to the standards of the series - thick strong paper, decent perforation on each page, well-designed images, not too much shading or tiny sections that show the picture wasn't drawn with coloring in mind.
The images in this book are unusual for a coloring book. Living room scenes, pages filled with bowls or kitchen utensils etc. (Without the book right in front of me, I can't give many examples.) It may not be the best one or a new colorist to start with, but once you get used to the more basic titles, this one is a lot of fun to color. I've enjoyed coloring several of the room scenes with color schemes I remember my house had left over from the 60s and 70s. Hopefully new books will continue to be added to the Just Add Color series, as I can't get enough!

That mid-century modern vibe
This was one of the first coloring books I purchased. I was attracted to it because the designs, while abstract, are still quite different from most of the pattern-based coloring books on the market. Each design has large spaces and multiple shapes. You can totally use ALL THE COLORS to color them, though I've found I prefer the outcome if I go with a color scheme. This is a coloring book with a vibe, and I very much enjoy that. Designs in this book are printed on one side of the page. The paper is thick- really thick. This is the thickest paper I've seen in a coloring book, with the exception of Floribunda (which is straight-up cardstock). That said, be advised that the paper is very smooth- almost as if it has a coating on it. There is zero tooth. This makes it very nice for markers, but I find that colored pencils are not so much fun on this paper. I like this coloring book enough that I've purchased some others in the series- very high production values!
