Coloring books for adults

hit category, and they’re
gaining steam . . .
—Publishers Weekly, November 2015
CALENDARS
Princeton Architectural Press has a weekly
calendar, Redstone Diary 2017: The Time
Diary (July, $24.95), featuring work of
artists such as On Kawara, Louise Bourgeois,
Edvard Munch, and others, all on the subject of time. Willow Creek Press has a wide
range of calendars, many based on popular
animals, including Instagram sensations
Doug the Pug and Pumpkin the Raccoon.
COASTERS
To accompany food and drink titles,
Chronicle offers Cocktail Coasters: 15 Coasters
with Cocktail Recipes (March, $14.95),
reusable coasters featuring cocktail recipes,
and Owl Drink to That (April, $14.95),
a coaster set pairing animal drawings
and drinking puns. Chronicle’s Bach says,
“Anything food-related becomes a much
stronger gift item because people tend to
buy others things about food.”
JOURNALS
Compendium has two new additions to
its Write Now line of journals that include
original artwork and inspirational quotes:
We Must Go and See for Ourselves, a journal
designed to encourage adventure, and
Life Is Always Now, which encourages
users to live in the moment (Jan, $6.95).
The Compact Novel Journals series
(Canterbury Classics, May, $14.99) are
gifts for lovers of classic literature. The
printed lines of these notebooks are made
from the complete text of classic literary
works, rendered in a tiny font.
Earthbound Journals produces hand-crafted leather journals with embossed
designs, antique-style metal clasp locks,
and handmade recycled cotton paper.
Sizes and prices vary.
NOTECARDS
Princeton Architectural Press has
Thoreau Notecards (March, $14.95) featuring

the mid-century photographer’s photos
of the city. Fotofolio offers a Clyfford Still
Notecard Box, featuring the works of the
Abstract Expressionist painter, and a
Basquiat Postcard Box.
