When I first started making my own toiletries there were precious few books available. Most of my research was done on a trial and error basis - and many of the Victorian books that I have contain alot of very 'iffy' recipes. What I would have given for a decent book! These are a Godsend!! If you would like to purchase a book - please consider doing it through this page as Amazon will very kindly give me a few pennies every time someone follows the link and buys a book. In all other respects this website is totally self-funded and all the information on it free.
