This book is okay for its recipes but not very detailed in the actual techniques for making the soaps.  In other words I would say it doesn't have enough info for a real beginner but would be fine for someone with experience.  For instance caustic soda is a main ingredient in all the soaps but there is no info as to what this is or where to get it.  It mentions that if you decide to substitute an oil in a recipe you need to adjust the amount of caustic soda but doesn't tell you how.  I will get a more detailed book to learn the basics and use this one for the recipes.
