Rating: - Good resource book, but not complete enough for new soap makers
I am pleased I purchased this book of Catherine Failor's. It does an decent job of explaining the liquid soap making process. There is a lot of valuable information. However, for someone making liquid soap for the first time, it is my opinion there is a lot of incomplete and/or unclear information. If you want to make liquid soap, this is a must for your technical library, but it is not the only book you will need.

Rating: - Making Natural Liquid Soaps
This book was informative, and it has excellent visual aides but I found it to be very confusing in parts. There are two basic methods described and these methods have variations. One method actually takes two days to prepare the soap which was not clearly stated from the start.

The explainations on discounting,oil sap rates and the basic mechanics of soap making were excellent, and while the information was useful, it certainly could have been grouped better to ease in the use of the book.

I certainly hope the author will make a revised version of this book, but until that time, this is a great reference for liquid soap making. I would encourage you to read it through several times to make sure you have a full grasp of what you need to have on hand and to make notes so that you don't have to flip through the book to locate information while making your soap.

Rating: - CONFUSING!!
I was sooo excited when I got this book. But quickly discovered, it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. I found it very confusing. It might be easier to understand if you have a degree in chemistry. I think there are much better books out there that are much much easier to understand

Rating: - Gives Great Directions
This book offers great directions for making soap. It also offers some excellent starting recipes to formulate some of your own.

Rating: - so so
While Failor's book has some very detailed instructions, she makes the process of hand crafted liquid soap more difficult than it needs to be.
