This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all coloring books being released. Bear in mind, that there are hundreds and hundreds of books being released every month. I cannot possibly keep up with all of them!
This list of new releases is only books that have taken my fancy, and that I think you may like as well. Due to the high cost of postage for most readers, this list will usually not include International releases.
Please also bear in mind that different countries often have different publication dates. Something may be released in the US earlier than in the UK or vice versa.

There are a lot of books that are available for pre-order that I will include here as well

Tales of Mischief Coloring Book
Jack Brutus Penny is a UK “nonsense writer and illustrator” living in Japan. His work is highly detailed and interesting. You can check it out at his shop here. After creating books, playing cards, coasters, and even cuff links Jack is dipping his toes into the coloring book world. He is creating a completely different style of coloring book that most colorists are familiar with.
His coloring book is called Tales of Mischief in Colour which will be a limited edition book. This luxury hardcover book features a textured and foiled cover. The line art in this 24-page coloring book is already colored and the book is presented in the traditional Japanese Orihon style. This is an accordion-style book where it folds out. I have coloring books that have pre-colored lines and I have accordion-style books but this is the first time I’ve seen both styles combined in one book.
You can check out the Kickstarter for the unique Tales of Mischief Coloring Book and other items in this series at the Kickstarter here.
