I marked this as okay but probably more for the fact it wasn't what I was looking for instead of if it was a good book. For the most part it gives similar recipes to soaps and lotions that are out there in other books. But this book does have added information - it wants to make the whole bathing experience better so it has projects to perk up your bathroom with adding trimming to towels, hand painting ceramic bathroom accessories, making a bathmat and so on. None of the projects were my style but I am sure I could have adapted them to something more my style if that is what I was looking for but it wasn't. Overall - it is an easy to understand book. Good illustrations, photos, ingredient lists, instructions and explanations. It is also a pretty quick read as it has less recipes then others books of it's kind.
