 Not a good choice....even for beginners September 4, 2008
I bought the book with just a little knowledge of the candle making industry. The problem with the book is its not updated for the new technology and materials that are used in candle making today. Yes it does a good job of breaking down the VERY BASICS but thats it. You need to know more about the industry than this book covers. I got more information from watching videos on youtube and the different candle supply companies websites than the couple of books I recently purchased. Watch videos and get up to date information on new waxes and materials. Save yourself the $15 or whatever you may spend and research the internet and the big candle supply companies out there. They know whats new and what works
 When they say basic, they mean basic. August 2, 2008
This is a great book if you've never read anything about candlemaking previously. I didn't realize it was going to be so 'simple'. It's extremely basic and I found it almost childlike. It's very easy to understand, has good pictures, and would be great if you are a real beginner.
 Excellent for true beginners April 6, 2008

I started candle making several months ago. I wish I had had this book on Day 1. I pretty much figured out the basics on my own, but would have saved a lot of time (and mistakes) if I had had this book to start with. It's Candle Making 101: basic, simple, step by step, and lots of photos. A great book if you are just starting out.
The only book you'll ever need! January 30, 2008

What's best about this book are the step by step photos included with the instructions. That's what makes it so easy to understand even for the novice.
Offers valuable tips and advice for those who are more advanced as well. This book is a must for your collection if you're serious about candle making.
