Not many recipes - By: Katie99, 31 May 2007 
The background info & chemistryin this book is interesting. The book would be improved by the addition of considerably more recipes. Also the recipesin the book make very large batches of soap. I have always halved the recipe before I have many any of them
Everything you need to know about soapmaking - By: Maya Rose, 06 Nov 2006 
I am new to soap making & I found this book very easy to understand.
Not many recipes but all the other information about oils & all the chemistry about soap making which is very helpful when you are new to soap making.
No pictures but that is not so importantin this book, it's more like a "information book".
Good to have book to go back & find information about soap making ingredients.
Plese send me one book. - By: , 03 Aug 1999 Igor Popov Vukovarska 6B 23 0000 Zadar Croatia
all the technical facts you need - By: , 26 Jun 1999 
This book has really good technical know how,but the recipies are way off! I tried several, following them to the letter, using a laboratory scale, & not one of them turned out right. I was able to adjust the recipies using the technical info from the second part of the book, however.
THE "must-have" book on Soapmaking for beginners to pros! - By: , 04 May 1999 This is one of my favorite books I've found on the wonderful, newly found hobby of mine - Soapmaking!
The author does a brilliant job of combining the must-have step-by-step detailed instructions on soapmaking basics for beginners, with the best list & descriptions of all soapmaking ingredients!
Beginners & experts alike will enjoy the many tried & true recipes, even specialty soaps! It also covers the "Chemistry of soapmaking", including tables for making your own recipes! She even has a section on starting up your own business to sell your handmade soap creations! And it is all put togetherin an easy to understand & follow format, for us beginners, or "dummys"in soapmaking!
The only reason that I rated this book at "4 stars", instead of "5 stars" is because it does not include any pictures (and I LOVE pictures!)- only the hand-drawn illustrationsin green ink, as is the print, featured throughout the book. She does use alot of fragrances & different oilsin her soap recipes, but includes a list of buying resources in the back.
This, along with my other favorite book on soapmaking, "The Complete Soapmaker", by Norma Coney, (full of beautiful pictures!)which features mostly "hand-milled" or rebatched soaps, are the ones I find myself going to time & time again for reference & inspiration!
