Comically useless. Essentially just a list of ways to display candles, but so basic as to be totally asinine. Truly groundbreaking stuff such as putting tea lights in jars. Did you know you could display candles in candelabra!? I do now…

I was expecting ideas for arrangements or innovative making techniques. But this would be more suited to a primary / elementary school class tbh (making sea shells into candles, making sand candles etc).

Plenty of ideas and inspiration for any candlemaker, has a good chapter on tools, supplies, and safety. Includes a chapter on decorating ideas.

I'm sure I read this when I got it, but I wanted a refresher as I'm making candles again. Good book, but a bit dated and most information is available on the internet now.

It was good. I picked up the book to read up on how to make candles. The part about how to use candles in various settings was somewhat interesting, but I was mainly looking for the technical stuff.
