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.
