Grown-up coloring books

Joanna Basford’s books The Secret Garden and The Enchanted Forest have helped make it OK for adults to break out the crayons and colored pencils and color again. Everyone from The New York Times to Slate and many other media outlets have written about the grown-up coloring book phenomenon. As wonderful as that is, the publishers have had a tough time keeping the books in stock, especially Laurence King Publishers (distributed by Chronicle Books) with the Basford titles. Laurence King wants everyone to know that your frustrations are being heard and wrote this letter for us to share with you. Thanks for your support of these great titles.
