5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST candlemaking books on the market!, September 17, 2000
By Doneen St.John (Ashland, WI.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Candlemaking for Fun & Profit (Paperback)
This book covers several of the modern day subjects that many candlemaking books don't! It touches on Gel wax, Soy wax, and fragrance throw, just to name a few. It is very complete and detailed, as well as inspiring and easy to follow. It also has an extensive chapter on the business side of the craft, giving lots of advice on craft shows and many other ways of making money with your craft, as well as what you need to know for setting up a business. I'd consider this one a must-have for any serious candlemaker's library!

Sincerely, Doneen St.John The Candle Cauldron & Bitter Creek Candle Supply, Inc.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners, November 15, 2001
By Christina "christina-l" (Chateaugay, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Candlemaking for Fun & Profit (Paperback)
As I specialize in gel candles, the information on wax candles was not very interesting to me, but maybe someday it will. The good thing about this book is that you can flip back and forth to whatever section you want to read about without having to read it from the very beginning (especially if you already have some experience). Good information for someone beginning in the field (ex. pricing information is so important), and the Fun and Profit series of books is usually written in a nonintimidating fashion. Some books are the market seem to be geared more towards chemists (no offense to chemists)!
