If your looking for design ideas, this book is pretty good. It not only gives you pages of designs for hands/feet but it also gives you samples of portions of designs that you can mix and match. Another plus is that it doesn't go on and on about the history of mehndi like a lot of other books do, it just gives you what you need and nothing more. Some of the designs lack originality but it definitley helps you to stir up your own creativity and come up with design ideas of your own. Overall, a good buy.
