The Register-Guard
"But it is Melinda Coss, in "The Handmade Soap Book" who assures the uninitiated that they can make soap. She is the playful coach who, with humor and joy, shows the delightful side of soapmaking. Her book is also chock-full of the work of still-life photographer Emma Pelos, and sure to capture the heart of any gardener. It is a creative presentation that brings out the extraordinary beauty of ordinary garden goods, such as herbs, fruit, and twine, in combination with soap."
