[@lawilder2059]

Just learning about the colorist world and your assessment is so appreciated. Your thoroughness is absolutely impressive!! Also, your voice is very calm and makes your video a relaxing experience. Thank you for all your hard work!!!

There are some pluses in the UK edition, but not buying a book printed in China is a plus for me that trumps all other differences.

[@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness]

Fair enough, I hope you enjoy the US edition, it's lovely.

@@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness Thank you. I enjoyed your comparison video. I do have the book on my wishlist. :)

[@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness]

@@HomeLifeWithLove Thank you very much, that's lovely to know!

[@sharonthecolourist5955]

I am so pleased to your comparison videos back :D I am getting the UK edition.

[@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness]

Oh good, thank you! A very good choice, I hope you love it!

[@sarahwall600]

I love your comparison, as always😍 Will now have to find the UK edition for the collection. Thank you; so looking forward to your WoW comparison, when you can.I wonder what JB has in store for 2022? Her room hints have been intriguing🌸

[@dees3179]

Fascinating that they do this and don’t just churn out the same thing for both.

[@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness]

Isn't it?! I was so surprised when I first noticed differences in Lost Ocean and it began all of this!

Happy New Year Lucy! Wishing you a great new year!

I really enjoy your comparison videos , I prefer the Uk editions of Johanna’s books , I inadvertently bought a US copy of world of flowers and had pages coming out of the book after I had coloured them , so got a Uk edition , which worked out well as I got to try different styles in my new book

[@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness]

Thank you so much, I'm really glad. Shame about your World of Flowers but I'm glad you managed to get a second copy to have a go at too, that's always my preference, makes me less nervous about messing up knowing I've got a back up!

[@ZohYee7777]

same here. I don't buy the US edition anymore after both World of Flowers and Ivy and The Inky Butterfly pages came off after a few pages coloured. I prefer stitch and glue bind books even though the US paper is usually thicker.. Same goes with Kerby Rosanes's books.

[@webpig711]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@bebeveritas7306]

Enjoyed this comparison! Well done you! I think I will get this book and will aim to get the UK version. Thank you! Take care! Rats! Just checked my Amazon and only the US version is available. I’ll check the other link, thanks again!

[@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness]

Thank you so much! And a very good choice of the UK edition.

[@nancyhappily9503]

Thx Lucy. I had to stop buying these books because they fall apart and hubby won't pay postage for the UK version. Though I do prefer the paper weight of the U.S version. I do wish it sewn and not simply glued. Of well, I guess we can't have everything we want v

[@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness]

Oh that's such a shame! Have you tried Book Depository? They charge a bit higher for the book but it's free shipping worldwide so it might be a way of getting the UK copy and it might be more affordable for you. It's such a shame that the bindings in most US colouring books are glued rather then string-bound too.

[@Abstormal]

I opened this video earlier, then went ahead and purchased before checking it XD I am SO glad I did watch it now though, and I definitely picked the right one! I got the UK. The binding is good, but that tiny bleeding of the pen and ink was a huge deal breaker for me! I have a Norwegian version of Enchanted Version.. wonder which it is more similar to... =P

[@laurakenney100]

Thank you so much for the comparison. I will order the UK version. Sadly, my Ivy and the Inky Wonderland is in multiple pieces & it makes me sad. I had wanted to complete the entire book & have it like a beautiful storybook but, after so many pages came out I lost interest. I suppose I could try to glue it back.🤷‍♀️

[@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness]

You're very welcome! I'm so sorry to hear about your Ivy book, that's such a shame! I know some people have finished colouring them in pieces and then either had it spiral bound back together or put it in plastic pockets in a ring binder so it can be read as a book. I hope you can find a solution because it sounds like you've worked really hard on it and it would be such a shame to not finish your project. I hope you like the UK edition of this new book!

[@laurakenney100]

@@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness oh, thanks for the ideas of putting it together. I appreciate it.😊

[@CubNan]

Thx Lucy.

You're very welcome!

[@CaityRaindrop]

I watched this whole video as if I wasn't waiting on the copy I ordered a week ago without knowing there's a difference
