Great way to learn how to use incense as a home fragrance!

This is a beautifully written and photographed book with wonderfully different ideas on how to use incense in your own home, different types of incense you can find - either by type (sticks, cones, coils, etc) or by country - Japanese, Indian, etc. There are loads of great pictures, information on the history of incense and its uses as a spiritual practice. It's relaxing just to browse through this book!
