5000 Designs and Motifs from India March 13, 2008
This book is just okay. Five thousand designs is a lot to put into one book. If I had realized this BEFORE I bought this book, I would have known these pictures were all very TINY. Although this book is overwhelming, I give it 3 stars for inspiration.

misleading November 25, 2007
This book was a real disappointment. I expected to see well drawn motifs with sources listed. This book delivered a whole lot of images that are hard to use and really poorly drawn.

Good Collection November 9, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is an excellent collection of images that cover a wide range of subject matter. All of the images are approximately 5 cm wide by 3.5 cm high, so you would need access to a good scanner and softwware program to use them at any significant size.

3000 designs I might say. August 21, 2006
This book has a nice selection of Indian designs although some are very simple & primitive.I bought it for using in graphic designs, not all the patterns but at least 1/3 are useful.Nevertheless I'm very fond of owning it.
