I would not recommend this book for beginners. I've had this book for many years and have never used it. If you've never made soap before, I recommend finding someone who can give you a hands-on lesson. If that isn't an option, seek out on-line discussion forum for advice. There is usable information in this book, but some of the author's methods are questionable, at best, and a lot of the information is outdated. A more experienced soap maker can wade through the misinformation to get the good stuff in this book. For example, the recipes are large and super-fatted. I recommend scaling down the recipes and using a trusted lye calculator to figure the amount of lye needed.
