Customer Reviews:
The Best.......2007-08-12
This is an ultra-complete soap making book. It's my bible. It even touches upon the HP technique that other books leave out.
The BEST part is that the recipes come in batch sizes. And there are no shortages of recipes.
Color photos would have been preferred. 5 star book regardless.
Alicia has done it again!.......2007-06-26
I've been an artisian soaper for over seven years. I found this book wonderful! Very well written with up-to-date 21st century information. The essential oil section is especially useful for knowing which essential oils that "come through" in cold process or hot process soap. I had to learn most of this the hard way through trial and error, and spending alot of money on research.
There is so much information in this book that was very well researched and a great benefit to the soap maker at any level. There are several techniques that are simplified from other books and information on the internet such as liquid soapmaking in a slow cooker.
There are discussions of soap casting, making geodes, swirling, gemstones, hand milling, and so much more to make this a VERY complete discussion of soap making.
Once you have mastered soap making and want to start selling, Alicia has added a very well written section on selling. Where to sell how to sell and useful information on what to expect when selling.
The only drawback is that the publisher did not use color photographs and add more of them to the book. This really would have enhanced the overall quality of the book if they had used all of Alicia's photos and in color.
Now in a newly updated and expanded second edition.......2007-06-10
Now in a newly updated and expanded second edition, "The Everything Soapmaking Book" offers the non-specialist general reader with a complete and easy-to-follow guide for making and creating all manner of soaps ranging from simple bath soaps to lovely and aromatic gift soaps.

"The Everything Soapmaking Book" is enthusiastically recommended for anyone of any age wanting to try their hand at making soaps for themselves, their family, or their friends!
Good Book.......2007-06-09
This is a better book for intermediate and above soap makers. I will wait until a find a book designed for the very beginner soap maker and then come back to this.
Good book with lots of information.......2007-05-09
I think I have every soapmaking book ever published and this one ranks very close to some of the best I've read. The recipes look to be good ones and you are taken thru the entire process of soapmaking, from the equipment you will need to make your soap to information on how to take the recipes the author gives you and tweak them to develop your own unique recipes.

PERFECT.......2007-09-15
This book is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Perfect condition and rapid delivery. Excellent service.
Good to have.........2006-12-14
This is a goog book to have.For amateurs like me this book breaks methods down to a step by step illustrated and recipes for paint effects and faux finishes. Worth it.
Bookcase Item.......2006-11-10
This is a good general reference book. I am glad that I purchased it, but it isn't my faux painting Bible. However, if you are looking for many ideas, inspirations and photos, this is a good item for you. I am a seasoned amateur and for me, I need specific product references to really make the recipes work. This is more general. The bottom line; it is a nice book to own.
Great Information for an Amateur Painter.......2006-11-07
This book has many finishes and the instructions to complete each. For an experienced painter of faux finishes, this is too simple, but for a person just getting started ion doing this kind of work, this is a good instruction book.
Excellent Book an Excellent service.......2006-07-18
this book arrived in wonderful condition in the specified days.It has proved to have all the receipes I required an more.
Book Description
Make Your Own Playdough, Paint, and Other Craft Materials contains more than one hundred recipes for making craft materials-dough, clay, paint, glitter, and other creative -materials-with young children.
Â
Parents, as well as childcare providers and teachers, will find recipes that use ingredients easily found in their kitchens. Many of the recipes have less than five ingredients and take just minutes to make. Besides saving money by not buying commercial craft materials, the process of making the materials can be just as fun and educational as the activities that can be done with the finished products. Included with the activities are some new ideas for materials that providers and teachers can use in discovery bottles and discovery tables in childcare settings.
Â
In addition to common craft materials, there are recipes for:
• Dryer lint clay
• Edible candy clay
• Non-toxic scratch-and-sniff paint
• Waterproof glue
• Sidewalk chalk
• Clean mud
• Bubbles
• Soap crayons
• Bath salts
• Perfume
• Invisible ink
• Colored macaroni or rice
Â
Children will be thrilled to discover the works of art they can create with their new craft materials as they enhance their senses of touch, taste, smell, and sight. All of these recipes have been tested for safety and outcomes if followed as directed.

Handy book and a fun way to spend time with children.......2007-10-11
I think this book is wonderful! If you have any of the "how to make and do things" type of books some of these recipes might be included but to see them all laid out in order with recipes for different things is very nice! Plus most of the recipes all share common ingredients so you don't need to buy a lot of hard to find stuff for each project.
The way this book is laid out,with one recipe per page and large print,is very easy for children to read.My daughter really enjoyed being able to read the list and help mix up the ingredients.We especially liked the gloop and glop recipes for making slime.
If you work at a school or daycare or if your kids go through paint and playdough like it is going out of style,I highly reccomend this book to cut supply cost because whipping up large batches of supplies will save you lots of money and if you get the kids involved is an awesome learning experience!
A life saver!!.......2007-08-30
This book has been a great help to me as a stay at home mom of a toddler!! Great ideas to keep her busy when the weather is too hot to get outside(or as winter approaches too cold!). I love the ideas and my daughter has loved the varied activities in her "art" time!
Make Your Own Play Dough Review.......2007-08-03
I have to assume that this book is very good. I bought it for someone else and had it sent directly to them. They specifically asked for it by name and author.
Preschooling on a budget.......2007-03-08
Every parent, teacher, childcare provider, and scout leader should have this budget friendly book. The variety of recipes, science experiments, and resourceful materials presented are valuable for expanding a child's education. Using just about everything a person already has in his/her kitchen, creative materials can be formed with little cost. It includes over 100 recipes, and presents ideas for every season of the year.
I recommend buying this book, not just to have fun with your children, but for the knowledge they will gain, homemade gift ideas, holiday decorations, and the many other educational teaching elements it provides. You will find simple, but affordable gift ideas for children to make, discovery table suggestions, and many experiments. Each chapter of the book lists what children can learn and accomplish. Whether your child needs help learning measurements, hand-eye coordination, or learning science, you'll find this book to offer it all. The recipes and activities offer instructive and physical advantages for children, and teach them, as well as parents, about ways to recycle.
The Author has worked with young children for over ten years, and the quality of her experience in this book is evident. She understands that family resources are difficult to manage and still afford the extras, while providing an educational and fun activity for kids.
Kristina N. is a thrifty stay-at-home mother of six children, and home schools her preschooler. She does freelance writing in her spare time.
Book Description
Glazing pottery is an ancient process, dating back 25,000 years, yet is a medium and art form that is still being explored and advanced today. So many variables go into creating a beautiful glaze--from ingredients to application to firing--that their recipes are prized among potters.
This breathtaking collection of work from 53 ceramic artists goes beyond a mere gallery of their work, inviting readers into their studios to share their insights into the aesthetics of ceramic surfaces as well as the formulas for some of their most successful glazes.
Customer Reviews:
Smashingly Good.......2005-02-19
My husband and I have met Susan Peterson and many of the potters that are in the book. The book presents works by the artist as they would present them to a friend. The photos and writings really put the glaze recipes in focus.
Excellent!!!.......2004-10-15
I love this book and use it often as a reference for glazes. I appreciate the broad range of glazes offered, and the fact that this book doesn't cater only to potters, and "functional" ceramics. There's a variety of functional and sculptural styles that offer inspiration for any artist.
EXCELLENT RANGE AND SUCCINCT DEPTH.......2001-12-06
Peterson chooses a wide variety of functional and sculptural work, from low fire through high fire, and has the artist explain their processes and give recipes. What more could you want! As a ceramic artist, it takes going to a lot of workshops, talking to a lot of artists, and reading a lot of books to get the breadth of information she puts forward in a succinct and visually pleasing manner.
The pieces chosen represent a thoughtful variety of work being done in both functional and sculptural ceramics. Each piece is superlative in its relationship between surface and form. As a ceramic artist I found myself with many ideas and left with the resources to explore and execute those ideas. It was like going to a really great show and being told all the artist's recipes and secrets.
While not exhaustive of information (see Dan Rhodes), it presents everything in a very visually appealing manner while not losing technical information. This is to be expected from the author of the classic "The Craft and Art of Clay."
Susan Peterson does it again!
Not Exactly Smashing.......2001-11-14
I was greatly disappointed with this glossy glaze/coffee table book. I could not honestly imagine anyone would be interested in re-creating the glazes used on the second-rate ceramics pictured here. Sure, the photos are nice and the layout is attractive, but the selected works are mostly sculptural, with the glazes being not really essential to the focus of the work.
The book is thoughtfully organized by maturing temperatures of the glazes, and recipes are given. I was suprised to see so many commercial glazes, stains and clay bodies used. The whole thing came across as a come-on for Guild.com and its pottery supply company sponsers.

The Potter's Book of Glaze Recipes.......2007-05-13
Easy to use and keeps open while I work on recipes.Great size . Great pictures on nice paper.
Review from an experienced potter.......2005-07-24
I am thrilled with this new book I recently purchased, I have had Emmanual Cooper's other books on glazing and recipes - and found them most informative and the glazes pretty true to explanation
I also have found that they are quite stable - we fire in the higher 1260.C upwards catagory and the sometimes glaze recipes unless worked out correctly can be very unstable and uninteresting.
All in all a very worthwhile book and easy to use, a definate "MUST HAVE" for your collection
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
Good Book.......2006-11-10
This is the first book I bought to learn to make cold processed soap. The pictures are lovely and the content is good to a certain extent. I did make my first soaps from receipes in this book. I think this is a good starter book; however, if the art of soapmaking truly interests you, you will want to buy a more indepth book.

Cocoa Cobweb Cupcakes, Black Cat Cookies, and Stained-Glass Spooks are just a few of the spirited tastes you'll encounter in Donata Maggipinto's delightful Halloween Treats. But it's not just recipes--you and your favorite little goblin will love creating spooky craft projects such as Candy Cauldrons, Leaf Lanterns, and Paper Bag Pumpkins together in anticipation of All Hallows' Eve. Maggipinto includes craft ideas for "Pixies" (children 4-8 years old) as well as older children, and nearly every recipe includes a safe task for younger helpers. (For example, while mom or dad should heat the milk for hot cocoa, kids can roll and stamp out marshmallow ghosts as accompaniment.) A few of the craft ideas will require a trip to the art supply store (such as lampshade paper for the very nifty flashlight lanterns), but Maggipinto leaves plenty of room for the magical combination of imagination and found objects. Her great "fanciful masks" are dime-store masks decorated with autumn leaves, candy wrappers, feathers, or anything else you might have at hand.
Maggipinto believes that Halloween festivities should last for at least a week; you'll find enough project instructions and recipes here for a month of Halloween fun. Grownups will love her Halloween dinner party menu (with Pumpkin Crackle Custard for dessert!) and kids can help by making corn kernel napkin rings and three-tiered pumpkin centerpieces. If you're looking for costume ideas, you won't find them here--the book is focused firmly on kitchen and decoration fun--but the beautifully illustrated Halloween Treats is a wonderful treasure trove of tricks and treats that every family will enjoy working on together. --Rebecca A. Staffel

Customer Reviews:
Cute.......2007-09-03
This book is cute and has some fun ideas but not all the items have pictures and there is a lot of "adult" oriented food in there which is not why I bought it. A few cute ideas but I suggest buying it used to get your moneys worth.
Great Pictures, Good Recipes, Fun Ideas.......2005-08-24
I have had this book for sometime now, and I always break it out for for my halloween parties. The pumpkin curry soup recipe is sooo yummy, and the pictures and crafts are inpiring! If you are in the 20-35 year old set, I would reccomend this book!
More trick than treat.......2000-07-17
Some of the ideas were cute and worth trying. But, for the most part, it is not worth the money. I loved the pictures, which were the best part of the book. I plan on trying some of the ideas, but depending on the age of your children, it's not really a family oriented book. I lost interest very rapidly, as did my 4 and 7 year olds.
great photos, inspiring ideas.......1999-12-05
It was so hot here in AZ this fall, I needed a jumpstart to get into the Halloween spirit. This was just the book. Great photos and seasonal recipes made me run out to buy sweet potatoes for making the baked chips! I envisioned keeping them on hand for lunches and snacks, but they were gone in a day. The black cats were cute, too, but we all suffered with black tongues after the fact. Plenty of other cute ideas for little ones.
If you want Julia Child, don't buy this book; but if you want a holiday read, with great pictures and some nice recipes, find a notch on your bookshelf for this one.
Beautiful pictures, some good ideas but not much substance.......1999-10-29
I enjoyed the wonderfully festive pictures and I was able to glean some ideas from her book as a starting point for my own Hallowe'en projects. However, I'm not so sure there is enough substance nor wholly original ideas to make it a worthwhile purchase. It is a fun book to thumb through but most of the "magic" is to be found in the photographs. I tried some of the recipies: the cocoa cobweb cupcakes were not "chocolatey" enough and the pumpkin soup was okay but not spectacular.

ASIN: 1585425591
Release Date: 2007-05-10 |
Book Description
The first complete guide-for use by adults and children-to creating fun and educational book clubs for kids.
As authors of The Book Club Cookbook, the classic guide to integrating great food and food-related discussion into book club gatherings, Judy Gelman and Vicki Levy Krupp hear a common refrain from parents, librarians, teachers, community leaders and kids themselves: "How about writing a book for kids' book clubs?" Indeed, in recent years youth organizations, parents, libraries, schools, and our local, state, and federal governments have launched thousands of book clubs for children as a way to counter falling literacy rates and foster a love of reading. Based on surveys representing five hundred youth book clubs across the country and interviews with parents, kids, educators, and librarians, The Kids' Book Club Book features:
_- the top fifty favorite book club reads for children ages eight to eighteen;
_- ideas and advice on forming great kids' book clubs-and tips for kids who want to start their own book clubs;
_- recipes, activities, and insights from such bestselling children's book authors as Christopher Paolini, Lois Lowry, Jerry Spinelli, Nancy Farmer, Christopher Paul Curtis, Andrew Clements, Laurie Halse Anderson, Norton Juster, and many others.
From recipes for the Dump Punch and egg salad sandwiches included in Kate DiCamillo's Because of Winn-Dixie to instructionson how to make soap carvings like the ones left in the knot-hole of a tree in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, this book provides a bounty of ideas for making every kids' book club a success.

Great ideas and fun to read.......2007-06-25
As a do-it-your-selfer, I used to pick up these kinds of books and think to myself, "I could do this, I could come up with these ideas, I don't need to buy this book!" However, over the last couple of years, I've realized that sometimes it is just wonderful to have someone else do the legwork. And this book is filled with interesting, fun ideas that would be useful to anyone planning a book club - for a classroom, an after school program, for the neighborhood, for homeschool groups, ecetera.
The book begins with advice about setting up a book club, deciding who should be in it and which books will be read.
Then it is divided into sections that recommend books for elementary readers (10 books); middle school readers (gr. 5-7; 23 books); young teen readers (gr. 6-8; 11 books); and advanced readers (gr. 9+; 6 books).
The books span the years, some being modern and some having stood the test of time. Each book is followed by a brief summary, author notes, relevant recipes, several activity ideas (crafts, service projects, etc...), and discussion questions. Quotes and comments from various book clubs around the country are also included.
Personally, I would have preferred more meat about the recommended book authors, rather than the 2 or 3 bullet points the book contains.
I also think this book should have been three books, one targeting elementary kids, one targeting middle readers/young teens, and one targeting high school kids. As it is, the main audience seems to be middle readers/young teens as they get 34 of the 50 books. If you are looking for more ideas for younger elementary kids, you might want to check out the Five in a Row series of books, which contain lots of hands-on ideas for classic picture books that would interest children K-3.
Anyway, quibbles aside, I think this book is well worth the money, and is a good read for book lovers to boot.
Jam Packed with Ideas.......2007-06-08
This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in beginning a kids' book club. The book ideas, activities and recipes are well thought out and enticing. This is a 'must have' for teacher, librarians, or anyone interested in literature for children and young adults.
