  SOAPMAKING BOOK  
  3RD EDITION
  
  Dear Reader,
  
  I love soap. I love to use soap. I especially love to make soap. Making soap
  gives me a feeling of gentle, subtle power. Using the soap I’ve made is an
  extremely satisfying experience. Not to mention that I’m very clean, as are my
  friends and family.
  
  I’ve been making soap since 1995, and even after the creation of innumerable
  batches and bars, I still get a thrill when I get out the soap pot. Each new
  project presents an opportunity for creativity. Even though I have been doing
  this for years, the very act of making soap remains profoundly creative.
  
  Preparing this third edition has provided me with the opportunity to update
  the techniques I wrote about in the first and second editions. My own
  soapmaking techniques have evolved in exciting ways, and I’m very happy to
  share what I’ve learned with you.
  
  I know you will experience great pleasure in making soap.
