Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 Oh Marget you are so right! I have this one book called The Soap Book by Sandy Maine .. oh the little book is so pretty and full of lovely pictures, but when you look at all the recipes .. every single one is the EXACT SAME Crisco recipe (and Crisco makes a crappier quality soap IMHO) .. The only difference in her recipes is that she adds a different herb and/or scent oil in each one How hard is that to write a 50 page book, all with the same recipe and just change whether you add Rosemary or Dill or Lavender? I say it is a waste of money, waste of paper and an insult to my intelligence! But it sells because is pretty looking ) If properly packaged even poop can sell (Hey, in the state of Maine they sell shellacked Moose Dropping jewelry in all the tourist traps! *giggle*) *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Margaret Helm-Duell wrote: > Compare the different recipes > and so on and then decide.
