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!

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)!

This book gave me peace of mind and confidence to begin making candles for my business. Wonderful detailed information. Great reference tool! Thanks!

The book is very easy to read, very detailed at times even too much, which is good. It guides you from point 'A' to point 'B'. The best part is that it even tells you where you can purchase the products, which makes it a easier to start off. I highly recommend the book.

I've made candles for over 8 years, and my husband and I now sell candlemaking supplies. We are always looking for books that our customers can read to become better educated on the topic at hand. This book does just that, and I highly recommend it!
