I didn't want to like it---but I DID!! And now it's a new favorite!
Format: Spiral-bound
I didn't want to like this book--I really thought it would be just a gimmick for selling soap-making tools and equipment through the author's web business. But I ended up enjoying it in spite of myself! The recipes mostly stick to wholesome ingredients, and the author suggests and demonstrates some VERY creative ideas and techniques that I can't wait to try! Although the projects would definitely be easier with the specific Brambleberry equipment, colorants, etc. called for with the recipes, I think most of them could be adjusted to be done without all the special stuff--at least for an experienced soap maker. And that's what I'm planning to do! She offers insights into which recipes should be insulated and pushed through the gel stage, and which should not--that was something new and interesting to me. She's tried several ingredients that I was hesitant to try, for fear of having to throw out an entire batch of failed soap ($$$$). So, I now feel comfortable using bananas, for example, or cucumber pulp and peel, lemons, etc. I'm really eager to dig in and try some new things, thanks to Anne-Marie's creative ideas and demonstrations. The pictures in this book are what make it so appealing--they are not only beautiful, but very helpful as well. I also really enjoy the spiral, lay-flat binding--super helpful for using at the soap table. Just a note...she isn't overly concerned about temperatures with most of the recipes, so if you're a by-the-rule kind of soap maker (like I am), that might take a bit of getting used to. This is a good book for the experienced cold-process soaper, but for someone just starting out, I'd start with a more basic one. (She does go over the basic cold-process procedure at the beginning of the book, and then reviews it with each recipe.)

Beautiful very informative book. I would give it a 10 star
Format: Spiral-bound
I decided to buy this book after watching Anne-Marie the author ‘ s YouTube videos on soap making which were awesome very detailed, informative, organized, great quality for a beginner soap maker like me. She actually explains her recipes the do’s and don’t ‘s and the why of each ingredients … AMAZING!!! After reading some reviews here on Amazon , I kind of lowered my expectations of the book but I wanted to see for myself what they were talking about. Obviously, some reviewers are just haters to say the least. This book is beautiful, loaded with high quality colored pictures, detailed steps and informations on products she uses and why. I do not regret at all my purchase. This book is exactly a picture of the author’s great personality and work ethics. Some get offended or judge her because she uses palm oil. There is a section in the book where she talks about “Sustainable Palm Oil” Definitely helpful for a beginner soap maker like me😊I can’t speak for everyone out there

Wonderful Resource! Has it all!
Format: Spiral-bound
Loving this book! I am new to soap making with lye. I have made a few melt & pour soaps but want to move to cold process soap making. This book is not just recipes. It explains the science of soap making as well as a lot of information on the process, the tools, different types of oils, additives, troubleshooting and terminology. The information is well laid out and easy to read and understand. There are also sidebar boxes with information that is really helpful. I was really happy to see a section on using herbs and other natural additives which is my preference. I also enjoyed the chapter on designing your own soaps. I have not yet tried any of the recipes, but expect to do so as soon as I get all my ingredients. I believe that this book will be my go to resource for soap making as it is so informative.

Great book but...
Format: Spiral-bound
This is great book for beginners and advanced soapers with limited ideas for design and/or shapes of soaps, has plenty of pictures and instructions. My negative is that it doesn’t tell you what each recipe or soap is good at or specially made for. I do feel though, that it has plenty of information and techniques for anyone to start their soap business and have plenty of variety. I think this book and The Natural Soapmaking Book for Beginners by Kelly Cable complement each other very well, but if I had to choose one, I would definitely choose Kelly Cables book. If you can though, buy both for good recipes, techniques and design between the two.

Beautiful Book if not just to admire-but SO useful too!
Format: Spiral-bound
What a beautiful book! I love making all natural soaps with essential oils. I do avoid palm oil and there are quite a few recipes in here that avoid it to and the rest are great and can be adjusted with a lye calculator and another oil (which I run every recipe through!) I can't get over the beautiful photography. A great book for anyone new to soap making or who has been doing it for awhile. Great reference for my library:) My FAVORITE is the 2page photos of all the natural colorants photo graphed right after making them and then 3?months later. Some additives are pretty spending and having this gives me a peace of mind in deciding what I want my end product to look like. Anne-Marie Faiola is amazing and providing wonderful tutorials, step-by-step instructions and equipment how-tos. I just can't say enough good things!

Good new soap maker book
Format: Spiral-bound
I am a lifelong electrician who needed a winter hobby. I started making soap 3 months ago give or take. I have found that I love making soap - but I have also found that making beautiful soap is not easy. Some reviews I read before I bought this book seem disheartening. This is a well laid out guide. Just because this book is well laid out with good recipes and good pictures does not mean my creations will turn out the first time! It takes a lot of practice and a Lot of learning! I take good notes during each recipe and write down things I learned each time. Also I have found that soap has a bit of a mind of it's own and it will turn out the way it wants to - to some extent. I have to let it be what it wants to become, with my persuasion. this is a good book and I recommend it. The soap is Healthy! There are many things that have to be purchased to become a soap maker, it is a process and it is worth it. Take the time and dont be discouraged. If it didn't turn out the way you wanted, still it is Healthy soap. Use it up and try again! I have made a batch (marbling technique) 3 or 4 times over and over trying to get it right. Each time I learn and get better. I recommend this book and soapmaking as a whole. It has been a good way for my non artistic person to do something artistic! :)
