1: Very informational book - Good for first-timers and the business minded
I have 48 post it notes marking key information throughout this book. I am extremely happy with my purchase. It it filled with a ton of advice from cold process to handmilled to melt and pour to opening your own business, pricing, marketing, selling - you can tell this writer is passionate about soap making.
Her advice is pratical - preparing a work station, creating scents, interesting molds, many handy hints, checklist for craft shows, tips for selling on the web, etc. etc. etc. Now, I know there are a few comments that the recipes aren't that spectacular, but let's be honest here....most of us want to create our own recipes anyway, right?!
I'm not into the cold process so I really can't critique that portion of the book. Yes, about 1/3 of the book is a mini-course in crafts business basics, written by Barbara Brabec - a book within a book. For me this was extremely interesting and information I wouldn't want to do without.
I sell and buy books on Amazon and although I like to sell my used book, this is not one I will be putting back up for sale. It is here in my kitchen to stay.

2: Great book for newbies
I like this book because she gives a lot of other detailed info that some other books don't like terminology and hints and tips that others don't think about (like known allergens for example). This book definitely has the newbie in mind. It was very helpful to me and I WOULD recommend this.
It also has a great list of resources like where to find packaging or essential oils, and even fresh herbs. Pretty much everything you need to get started.
Probably not for the experienced soaper.

3: Extremely informative book on soap
I have no knowledge of soapmaking but decided I wanted to start making it and even, maybe, selling it just as a hobby.....this book has given me so much information....more than I expected

5: The Best Soapmaking Book I've Found to Date!
I am just getting started as a soapmaker and have been searching for a good all-around beginners soapmaking book. This is by far the best book I have found. Comprehensive,informative and interesting. Covers all the bases including taking soapmaking to the next level and starting a business. A well-written and well-researched book.
Highly recommended, money well spent!
