Creative Batik

by: Rosi Robinson
Rosi is an extremely talented artist but her book is not a good introduction to the techniques of Batik. Her book is focused on producing a series of projects and the explication of the techniques involved is decidedly secondary to the purpose of the book.

Batik and Tie Dye Techniques

by: Nancy Belfer
Discussion of the history of batik is very through, unfortunately, that is not what I was looking for. Also, photos are black and white, and not easy to follow.

The section discussion how to batik is relatively small compared to the material in the book, and not easy to follow, as the photos are black and white and somewhat small. I recommend Creative Batik over this book, if you want to learn how to batik.
