The new year is a great time to reflect on the past and look forward into the future. Soap and candle makers are no different. So as we move forward into 2010, why not read about how soap makers throughout the centuries have done it. These scans of antique soap making books, courtesy of good old Google, will show you hundreds of years of soap making history. I bet you’ll discover some things that you never knew about soap making. I’m fascinated by how far we’ve come in science…and at how the process is pretty much still the same. I’ll also bet that you’ll find the same soap making spirit in these authors that us modern soap makers share.
