Editorial Reviews

Review

(Super Formulas) is one of the most interesting "how-to" books I have seen this year. If it can be made from honey and beeswax, it is in this book! It is a wonderful resource for artists and crafts people. --Paula Oliver, The Business of Herbs, Nov./Dec. 1993

...extraordinarily informative...book brings together a wide range of recipes for easily-made useful products. This publication is very readable and well-referenced. --Jim Tabor, Maine Organic Farmer & Gardener, Nov./Dec. 1993

While the book was written specifically for beekeepers, its appeal is much broader. Artists and crafters will find much of value here and we think all self-reliant homesteaders will find it useful even if they don't keep bees. --Jd Belanger, Countryside & Small Stock Journal Sept./Oct. 1993

This review is from: Super Formulas, Arts and Crafts: How to Make More Than 360 Useful Products That Contain Honey and Beeswax (Perfect Paperback)

Man, if you want to make it, and it's got honey or bee's wax in it, then this is your book. Adhesives, candles, metal casting, wine, lotions, soap, ... you name it, this book has it. It even has one of the best process descriptions for making honey wine (mead) that I've ever seen, better even than those given by the "experts". This book is a gem.

I typed in soap making on Google toolbar and found this by Elaine C. White on that website for $14.95, considerably less than Amazon. This is unusual as Amamzon usually is cheapest, not this time. AND they have them IN STOCK.
