In Linda Orton's Soapmaking for the First Time, newcomers to this surprisingly versatile craft will find all the recipes for success and more, and experienced soap makers are bound to discover some interesting new ideas. Laying the groundwork with a thorough introductory section, Orton explains the details of the three basic methods (melt and pour; rebatching, sometimes called hand-milled; and cold processing), progressing from super-easy through more complex in 27 well-presented projects. Besides translucent glycerin bars hosting colorful soap chunks, seashells, and even small plastic toys, items include rebatched and cold-process soap balls and bars made with botanical infusions, and other bath products such as salt glow and bath oil. A gallery of eye-catching creations by accomplished soap artisans provides further inspiration. --Amy Handy
