Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

You'll notice that many of the 5 star reviews (at the time of my order) are from people who haven't even received the book yet. Anyhoo. So far I'm underwhelmed with the recipes. I hope that changes as I try more of them. As far as the book goes, it's a pretty sloppy job. It's like an amateur put this together. The main issue? There are 7 recipes with incorrect or missing information. He gives corrections on his blog for 6 of them, but I've found a 7th. I understand a typo or two. But 7 recipes? It took 2 months to receive the book because of so much demand. Yay - that's great for Bryan. But we're now in what, the 3rd printing? Maybe still the 2nd. Either way, the mistakes have still not been corrected. They just keep printing the incorrect recipes. It's printed on cheap paper (like really cheap for a cookbook), and the layout isn't even correct. The print is too close to the spine which means you have to push the book down or pull the pages to read it. There are no page numbers for the recipes in the table of contents, so you're just flipping through the book trying to find that recipe. Others have mentioned having to flip back to the beginning of the book for important technique details. I agree somewhat, but I do understand that including that information in every single recipe would make the book thicker and cost more. But it is a bit annoying. I do LOVE that there are measurements by weight!!!! Thank you! I'm going to keep trying the recipes. Hopefully this book wasn't just about the hype. ***Edit: I had to change my review from 2 stars to 1 as I tried more of the recipes. The ideas are great, but these recipes weren't tested enough and this book wasn't ready for publication. I think it was rushed because of the baking frenzy during the pandemic. I've been baking bread for 20 years, including sourdough. Some of the instructions just do not make any sense, and of course you have all the mistakes in the recipes.
