"The Book Of The Bath is an informative, entertaining, and occasionally inspiring book on the art of the bath. Superbly illustrated by Catherine Kanner, her text includes one hundred recipes for creating luxurious scented baths, splashes, lotions and soaps at home. The Book Of The Bath is enhanced further with a glossary of herbs and teas describing how they can be employed to soothe and freshen the skin, promote sleep, and relieve bodily aches and discomforts. Highly recommended for gift giving or personal pleasuring, The Book Of The Bath is replete with entertaining advice and a history of bathing, complete with its excesses, romance, and sensual pleasures." --provided by Goodreads.
