Candle Lovers Will Love Jon Newman's Candles book

Did I like this book? How about if I tell you that, only 1/3 of the way through the book, I put it aside--only long enough to immediately order one for a friend. Candles have an absolutely fascinating history, and this book unfolds that history in a most interesting and enjoyable way. In addition, the illustrations are numerous and include many showing candles and candle making through the years. While I am not interested in making candles, anyone who is would really like the detailed, step-by-step instructions that show how to make a variety of candles. Joh Newman has done an outstanding job in researching and writing about a topic that, on the surface, is so simple, yet, once you read this book, you will find out that it is most intricate. Find out how candles have changed history.
