Such Basic and vague information- I kept thinking to myself as I was reading it, "example, please," or "more detailed explanation, please". Even as a complete novice, I was left feeling I could probably have found out more information for myself online. I would definitely NOT recommend it! And personally I believed it to be a complete waste of money. On the other hand, I ordered a candle making kit from Carron Valley, and the instruction and information booklet they provided free with their kit was much more practical, useful and informative than this book.
