### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    If you want to try candle making, you need this book.
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2015*

I recently renewed my interest in making candles and began researching, first online and then through the purchasing of several (5) books.  For my purposes as a novice who needs to learn about all facets of candle making, I found this book to more than I expected. Of course, it's only approximately 168 pgs so it 's not a complete course, but Shaw more than nicely introduces the following: types of candles, methods for making candles, wax types and additives, wicks and techniques, use of fragrance oils, and types and use of  molds. There is also a thorough "how to" section with troubleshooting tips and an appendix that lists many retailers from which supplies can be purchased.  There are a couple other chapters that are quite good, also, and I respect her recommendation that interested candle makers first purchase an inclusive kit in order to test out how well he or she truly likes the process of candle making.  Shaw doesn't recommend any particular company or kit, but she does provide a listing of the minimum items that should be within the kit.  So, yes, I greatly recommend this book.  I have a list of books that I have read over the past year that are on the "to do" list to review, but I never seem to find the time.  However, I downloaded this book yesterday and today am reviewing it.  This is a book full of information that I believe any one interested in trying candle making needs to read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good, basic guide
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2015*

I chose this guide from a slew of other offerings primarily on the strength of other reviews.  I'm not sure what I expected, but it's a good, basic guide to candle making.  I intend at some point to pursue this as a hobby (and potentially maybe a side business), and the info here is very useful, if brief.  I sort of suspect I will take the author's instructions and try them out, making adjustments where needed by googling inquiries if things go awry or I want to change the way something is done.  I only paid a few dollars for it, so it was money well spent, but it's black & white and very basic, so if you are looking for more in-depth explanations, this might not be the best thing for you (unless you are happy to pursue further information from additional sources).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Informative and easy-to-follow instructions!
  

*by K***B on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2014*

This is a great how-to book for anyone interested in the art of making candles.  Whether you’re looking to just dabble in the craft as a hobby or venture into a profitable business, this book provides a wealth of information ranging from the history of candles to materials and supplies, to measuring tips and safety labels, and the great variety of waxes and their respective burning quality.Not only were all topics I wanted to know about covered, but it also touched upon topics I wasn’t aware of and found immensely educational. I love when a how-to-book can draw me in, keep me engaged, and get me real excited to get started on that first project.  I will definitely get a lot of use from this book!
