The Soapmaker's Companion - A Great Soap Making Book Once You've Gotten Started

The Soapmaker's Companion was the third book on making soap that I bought, after Norma Coney's Complete Soapmaker and Soap by Ann Bramson. (Both of those are excellent starter books!) When I bought it, I had a pretty good grasp of the soap making process, had made several batches, and wanted to expand my recipes and experiment. This was the perfect book for me at that time, and I've always held it in high regard. But it's several years and several hundred batches later now, and as I picked up this book again to review it, I can still see why I loved it, but can also see it's limitations. Don't get me wrong, it's a really great book - just stuffed with information, tips and experience...but there are (in my opinion) several weaknesses.
