Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a beautiful book and addresses the science of bread making and the chemical processes that occur during it in an in-depth fashion. The question then becomes, why don't I use this book more? I bake bread weekly and, although I have made several of the recipes in this book, I usually find myself turning to other books, where the recipes are clearer and quicker. In fact, the more I use this book, the less impressed I am with the recipes. Many of the recipes I've followed have turned out pretty terrible loaves of bread, after a ton of work to make them. Lots of better bread books out there. This one stinks, IMO.
