300 HANDCRAFTED SOAPS Hardcover – Import, 4 August 2003

I have been a hobbyist soapmaker for years but really only familiar with cold and hot process soaps. Melt and pour is a little bit out of my wheelhouse so I was curious to branch into something new. m&p is so fun and colourful, and this book really shows off the potential with bright, interesting photos and easy to follow recipes. I was blown away to find out so much about this technique, and how different pours can be used to create what look like miniature works of art. I would recommend this to any soaper, veteran or newcomer, or even someone looking to entertain children whilst supervised of course for an afternoon activity.

best book ever on soap making, its a new hobby for me and feel i will not need to buy another book as this will give me all of the help and ideas and information i need

After waiting for quite a while, and paying quite a bit, my 300 Handcrafted Soaps book finally arrived.To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I have been making soap for seven years now and was hoping that this book would shed some light on some of the more complicated glycerine soaps I have seen. It doesn't.Many of the soaps shown are the kind you would find at a church fete. The instructions are extemely basic and I can't say I have learnt anything from this book.If you are a serious soap maker this book will only tell you what you already know. If you are a novice, you won't learn much.If you like looking at pictures of soaps then buy this book.

This is a great book for anyone who wants to embark on simple soap making, good pictures, step-by-step instructions and sound advice. Also useful if you have already started melt & pour soapmaking, and want some inspiration. Highly recommended.

good book with easy to follow instructions for a beginner
