and if I could add my 2c worth.... I agree with Liz... but I also like "The Handmade Soap Book" by Melinda Coss _____ From: soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Liz Brook Sent: Friday, 18 June 2010 7:32 a.m. To: Soapcraft Subject: [soapcraft] Soapmaking Books I have many soapmaking books but do have a couple of favourites: First = The Soapmakers Companion & The Everything Soapmaking Book by Alicia Grosso. I find myself referring more and more to TSC - it has good indepth info on most stuff. Don't always agree, but like this one a lot. TESB is a new one I have and I'm really liking it. Soap Naturally - I don't like as much. It has a little about a lot, but I find not enough depth. And, I hate the size, hard to keep the book open where you want it.
