Actually, I think the entire bill comes up less than that .... and yes, it's an outstanding purchase....they're all incredible. Navneet is my hero. On an strange note: "Traditional Mehndi Designs : A Treasury of Henna Body Art " by Dorine Van Den Beukel, published recently, is page after page of the designs lifted directly from the Navneet books (Navneet has been publishing these for years!) but there is neither mention of Navneet nor any of the women who did all the design work for Navneet. I certainly hope Dorine and Shamballa publishing got all their copyrights and papers together! She lists the designs as only "traditional Indian designs". I don't know how she justifies that, since the designs are unquestionably by specific henna artists .... as listed by Navneet. Just from a functional standpoint .... order the books from Navneet, because they open flatter and are easier for an artist to work with than the Shamballa book.
