[.ca] Soapmaking for the first time (ISBN 1402725248)

From Amazon.com:
In Linda Orton's Soapmaking for the First Time, newcomers to this surprisingly versatile craft will find all the recipes for success and more, and experienced soap makers are bound to discover some interesting new ideas. Laying the groundwork with a thorough introductory section, Orton explains the details of the three basic methods (melt and pour; rebatching, sometimes called hand-milled; and cold processing), progressing from super-easy through more complex in 27 well-presented projects. Besides translucent glycerin bars hosting colorful soap chunks, seashells, and even small plastic toys, items include rebatched and cold-process soap balls and bars made with botanical infusions, and other bath products such as salt glow and bath oil. A gallery of eye-catching creations by accomplished soap artisans provides further inspiration. --Amy Handy

I like it with crackers:
My mom always made us kids' homemade soup when we were growing up. Chicken, vegetable, bean and all the other standard soups. I bought this book to try and bring back those memories. The directions are very specific, well written and clear. The only problem I have is I do not recognize any of these soups and they are just not agreeable with my palate. Maybe it's some kind of cultural difference. Anyway I'll keep trying them and hopefully I'll develop a taste for these rather perfumed soups.

Comprehensive, colorful and fun!:
A great book for crafters looking to experiment with melt & pour soapmaking. The nice variety of yummy recipes are easy to follow and yield great results. Instructions are well written, ingredient options explained clearly. Very helpful and fun!
