I was completely new to candle making when I bought this book. It gives the reader an overview of the basic waxes, wicks, additives and utensils, and enables you to start making your own candles right away. You learn how to dip and mold, how to use jelly wax, and how to add color, decoration and scents. The last chapters has a recipe guide for special candles.
If you are an experienced candle maker, then this book is not for you, but as a beginner I found it very helpful and easy to follow.
