this book was something of a disappointment. there were many lovely pictures of candles that had no instructions on how to make them, just advertisements for the people who did. there are some instructions, but i found them very simple and mostly what i knew already. also i didn't like the derogatory position on using crayons for color. it works great for me. it's a better boook for someone with no concept of how to make candles.

A great resource for getting started.
