Well, as we searched the library for books on candle making, we found a book that we loved - and it makes the art of candle-making so easy and simple. The Candlemaker's Companion by Betty Oppenheimer is a must-have book, especially if you are interested in candle-making basics. The book takes you from rolled candles to poured candles to dipped candles and more. We also LOVE the troubleshooting chapter (and we've used it quite a bit.)
This book is highly recommended by our family!
