Format:Paperback
Short on needless history but long on those valuable basics on how to get going this is a 'must have' book for anyone just starting out in henna. The exercises shown quickly get you into the swing og the basic patterns and there are plenty of patterns to start you off. About the only down side is that the recource section is entirely US based.

This book has it all. It covers the background, looks at how to start as a henna artist, and is very useful to people who are already artists! It is written in a simple no-nonsense way and simply it is a book that you can carry around anywhere (paperback)
Format:Paperback
I bought this for my 20 year old daughter for xmas (plus a couple of henna cones from the local Indian market), and within minutes she was oohing and ahhing and creating mendhi all over herself and her sister. Very good value for a fiver!

Disappointing
I was hoping for inspiration with my henna designs but found the examples few and poor. Would stick to the photographic examples. Read more
