Summary: Illuminations: Living by Candlelight
Review: I really liked this book. The pictures are fantastic! It gave me new idea's how to use candles. This book is for you if you are looking for inspirational pictures. Yes, he shows his products, but he does not discuss them. I love Wally Arnolds style!!

Review: This book is a marketing Vehicle for the Illuminations chain of candle stores. Although the photographs and arrangements are beautiful their beauty is sometimes created by the settings more than the candles or their light. Sprinkled within the pictures are occasionally interesting facts, such as the number of bees it takes to produce a pound of beeswax. However, such tidbits are also mixed with exultations to only purchase candles from a fine purveyor, assumedly Illuminations themselves. So I give it two stars for the scenic locations and the excellent photography.
