Customer Reviews

I found this book to be very good for the begining soaper

This book gives all of the basic information and includes lots of recipies. For a little book, it packs in a ton of information from the history of soap to your basic soap recipie to exotic soap recipies.

A good usable book for the novice and experienced soapmaker.

Upon arrival I immediately read the book cover to cover and thoroughly enjoyed myself. This was the third soapmaking book I had purchased and found, that as with the others, the author had her own way of soapmaking. By taking information from all the books I had purchased along with borrowed books from my public library, I was finally able to make soap. I have found in my experiences that no one book is complete in itself, however this book is filled with valuable information and is a must for your soapmaking library.
