    June 17, 2009: to the person who wrote that the book was misleading because she used lye...you cannot make soap, real soap, without it! there is no lye in the finished product, it makes me sad when people don't do their research and post things like that, then they go and buy "natural" usually melt and pour glycerine soap, that is DETERGENT! the soaps made from this book are the best thing in the world for your skin, and the environment.

    February 09, 2008: I bought this book because I am trying to make soap without using any chemicals such as lye. This book doesn't do that. It shows you how to make soap WITH lye. I will say that it is good for breaking down the different parts and explaining what they do. This is a good book for beginners, and for people who want to get started. But I feel it is a little misleading if you truly are trying to make healthy soap.
