Easy-to-Make Candles is an inexpensive but worthwhile book for anyone interested in getting started in candlemaking. The illustrations are black and white, but it provides an excellent understanding of the materials used in candlemaking and a sample of different types of candlemaking projects. If you want a book on candlemaking but don't want to spend the money on books with fancy pictures and home design ideas, this is the book for you.

I was new to candlemaking when I purchased this book. The book was easy to read and full of nice ideas. The first couple of candles I made were very successful. The only area the book can improve on is its format. It would be very helpful if the instructions were listed step by step, instead of being in paragraph format. Other than the format, this book is overall very good. Furthermore, in light of its price, the book is also a very good deal.

I was new to candle making when I read this book and it did make the process easy and fun with the results being far beyond what I every expected. The only problem I found it that the steps would have been easier to follow if he had itemized the material needed and the steps to follow. That way you save time as well. It is a good book to buy if you're starting out.

This book is very good to start your research if you are a beginner. It also provides more advanced designs for expert candlemakers. The book is a little old - 1974, I think? - so there is no information about new materials such as gel. But the designs included are still fun and interesting. Shame most of the pictures are black and white...

I have very few candle making books, but this is one I love. It is short and sweet and packed with photos. You'll appreciate the inspiration it gives you from the second you open it! It isn't worth thinking about...the price is right and it will work for your idea building plan if you love candles. Great ideas.

I think that candle making is fun! but is it easy? I've only made them once!
