I was a tester for this book. I tested all of its recipes and almost
all of the variations. This book is perfect for either a complete
novice or an accomplished baker. It is written in a straight-forward,
down to earth manner and has great pictures illustrating all the
techniques, various stages, and final products. Even though I am an
accomplished baker, I learned a lot of new techniques from the
information contained in this book that either improved and or
simplified my bread making. All of the recipes work. There is not
one dud in the entire book! The recipes run the gamut from lean
relatively simple breads, e.g., basic baguettes, to more complex
products, e.g., croissants. If I could only own one of Peter Reinhart's
books this is the one I would choose. There is a lifetime of baking in
this book.- Pamela Schmidt, Amazon.com
