Gorgeous photos of soap?

I have a friend who makes soap. I'd like to give her a book with pretty picturesof different kinds of soap, perhaps in a "soaps of the world" kind of way. Searching for this gives me either soap-making or soap opera books. Do you know how to find what I want?
Ideally, this would be similar to a (hypothetical) coffee table book published in 1996 showing weirdly gorgeous photos of handmade soap from Dublin, a village in Lithuania, an ancient suburb of Moscow, the St. Petersburg Winter Palace bathrooms, a recreation of ancient Egyptian soap, and whatever was used by the Hopi in 1803.
Does this exist? How can I find it?

Gain by Richard Powers is not a book with pretty pictures of soap, but it is a book that features multiple generations of a soap making company in the US and the author makes pretty pictures with words. I haven't read it since a few years after it came out, I have no idea how it holds up, but it did win awards at the time.
