    I love all the background information on henna and where it's from. It tells you way more than one person should know! Great for reading. But the pictures and examples they give you in the book are very primitive looking. I'd say for beginners. There were only two pages in this book that I actually thought about taking out to use. The rest of the illustrations are very simplistic. Look elsewhere for examples and ideas on what to draw! But still, very good to read!

    This is an excellent book if you are interested in Mehndi but don't really know much about it. Shows you how to draw the patterns, how to mix the henna for the best results. Overall a great book!
