I highly recommend this book for any novice candle maker.
Some highlights I enjoyed are
- foot notes
- easy access using links to important information
- scent blending
- easy to follow and understand scented candle formulation
This would make a great gift for some wanting to start out making candles.

This book has lovely photography. A lot of history about fragrance and how/why it works. There are many candle making resources online and I felt like many of the ideas were reworded versions of what is available. Bit pricey for content in my opinion but nice all the same as a table book.
