I knew this was a small book when I ordered it - I was looking for a sort of basic how-to with some design ideas and maybe some historical/cultural perspective.

Probably half of this book reads like a brochure you would pick up for free in a salon, or read on a web site. The rest of it is the useful practical information that I was looking for, but I would have enjoyed even more design ideas.

Above all I like this book but I don't think it's worth the publisher's list price of $12.00.

Not the best Mehndi book out there. Research other books before you purchase this book.

One of the books I always have out when doing Henna Parties.
