How many RP members would buy a grown up coloring book and color in it?

Apparently there's a trend for adults to color again and I'm curious how many would purchase one. I happened to be in a book store today and saw them for sale.

My wife and I still do the occasional puzzle, and when we had our son, we would do coloring books with him. Hell, he was a great excuse for me to play with legos again.

Thanks but no thanks. My wife has a complete Ceramic shop in the basement if I want to color I'll paint...

For adults interested in intricately detailed coloring books, I highly recommend Dover Publications SSgt Alex Robinson. Years ago I purchased one of their coloring books which was focused on houses of worship around the world. The coloring books provide information on the subjects depicted so.

I think a stained glass (window) themed coloring book would be awesome.

I bought this a couple of months ago as my "go-to" destressing 20 minutes. I wanted something with Celtic Knots and this was as close as I could find.

Obviously I am Air Force because I do have a couple and had the following: First problem: not enough colors. Second problem: couldn't seem to color in the lines (I've found an app that lets me color by touch, "Colorfy"). A little off topic but some of the best advice I ever received: "Shut up and color." Meaning pick your battles, the decision has been made and your 2 cents is superfluous.
