Summary: Lousy Recipes, Good Advice
Comment: Buy this book if you're planning on starting a store and selling soap. Otherwise, avoid it.
The recipes are uninspired and uncreative. They're not bad, they're just not creative enough to grab someone who's enthusiastic about making their own soap. For that, I recommend the Susan Miller Cavitch book, "The Soapmaker's Companion".
The business advice, however, is great. I really recommend it if you're interested in starting a craft business.
And that, really, is the only reason to buy this book.
Rating: 4
Summary: Great for business info, not top choice for recipes
Comment: This book covers the how-to in setting up the for-profit side of soapmaking really well, but the "for fun" side is better covered in other books with more recipes and more photos. If you are looking to sell soaps, GET THIS.
Otherwise, try some of the other books for more fun ideas and recipes.

Summary: Excellent!!!
Comment: I became interested in soapmaking not too long ago and have been avidly reading anything I can on the process of soapmaking and on opening a business to sell my creations. This is, by far, the best book I've read that covers both subjects. The recipes are great for a beginner, such as myself, and the author provides other tips for creating your own recipes and designs. The best section of the book, however, discusses developing a soapmaking business. The chapters are well placed and flow easily. The instructions are easy to understand. In fact, the entire section can actually be applied to ANY crafting industry. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
