Gotta Start Somewhere. Get a Soap Book

While there seems to be a wealth of knowledge about handmade soap making on the web, I needed to take a step back and look at it from one perspective at a time ... so I broke down and dropped$14.95 on a book.

Specifically, The Natural Soap Book: Making Herbal and Vegetable-Based Soaps by Susan Miller CavitchJust seems like a logical place to start. I was looking for another title by he same author, but this will do. It's got a good list of tools needed, and as soon as I gather them up I'll let you know what I found and how much it cost me.



While at Borders, another title caught my eye ... Soapmaking for Fun and Profit. Let's just hope that we get that far.
