    Great book for any Candle Maker!

    When I read this book I already knew how to make candles so I found the candle making part of the book to be on a beginner's level. However, I learned a lot from the profit section of the book. I loved the little 'Handy hints' and the 'Did you know???' facts shown on some pages throughout the book. I think this is a great book for someone who would like to learn more on starting a candle business and turning a hobby into a career.
