You are not buying this to sit up at night for a little bedtime reading. It is a college textbook about administration. However, the book is to the point and researched based about a broad spectrum of issues facing the principalship. It provides a background and starting point for discovery about issues ranging from finance, politics, public school law and the emergence of the leader's role. These are all topics students in ED ADM will deal with once they enter the world of adminstration.

The pictures are beautiful, but that is the only good thing I can say about this book. The techniques seem very complicated and are not explained or illustrated enough. This book does not even mention beadwax which is what I intended to use and think is probably the easiest way to make candles in containers. Also, not nearly enough information on adding scents. If you ask me, this book was a waste of my money.

I found this to be a very good book for a beginner which I am. It gives a good overview of what you need and how to use them. I also like that it gives a good bit of information about some advanced techniques. In summary, not great but enough to get me started -- which was my goal.
