Great tutorials on different molds and candle designs, which I think would be particularly helpful for anyone aiming to create candles for craft fairs and the like. The main shortcoming for me with this book is that it focuses primarily on paraffin wax candles with various chemical additives and all recipes included paraffin and, generally, vybar as well. As I'm personally interested in making all natural beeswax candles with as few additives as possible for health reasons, I felt this book was only somewhat helpful (only the sections on using natural molds like sand) as recipes are not usable for me. Great for paraffin workers though!
