Makes You Want to Take a Bath
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I received this book for my birthday recently, and I loved reading it. After I was done, I totally wanted to take a warm, relaxing bath! I love the recipes, both for bath indulgences and also for drinks to sip. I can't wait to try making them. I loved the lavender tub wreath idea. This book would be great for displaying in a bathroom. I'd recommend reading it for anyone who loves taking baths!

Many pictures...almost every other page portrays inticing photography that makes you dream about your next visit to the spa. A great coffee-table book, especially in the waiting room of a spa! This book could be useful in decorating as well. The writing covers some history on bathing in different cultures...very interesting!
