Beautiful Book Meant for Serious Bakers November 24, 2008
This really is a lovely book with great instructions. If you are looking for quick or last-minute recipes, this is not the source to go to. On the other hand, if you are looking for a great resource book and find making bread that takes 3 days therapeutic, this book is for you.
 The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread October 16, 2008
I am taking an Artisan Bread baking course and this book is a great beginning for any novice bread baker. Peter Reinhart explains clearly about the how-to of bread making. The recipes and instructions are easy to understand and follow. Anyone using this book will never buy bread in a store or bakery again. There is nothing like the smell of freshly mixed yeast dough and the aromas in your kitchen once the bread comes out of the oven. There are also simple and delicious recipes for foccacia and pizza. So, get your kids involved as well.
A classic must have if you want to be a truly great bread baker October 9, 2008

First off, that scathing one star review..throw it away. The poster sounds like a person who failed baking school and works in a low quality/mass producing corporate bakery.
Now..for a review.
This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone who wishes to learn to make great bread. The author explains the process from start to finish with many great tips he learned from years of professional experience. He will show you the way to create bread so good, you will have people ask you what bakery you got it at.
I will say, however, that if you are looking for a book that is "bread making made easy!!", this is not it. The formulas take some time, attention and effort to accomplish; you have to put your time in. You will also have to learn the basics of bread making science-nothing too heavy but there will be a few concepts you have to learn.
If you like baking, get the book, hop in, and go for it!
Really, quite good. October 7, 2008

I'm not going to make you read a tome just to find out what i think. This book has such a wealth of knowledge to help you improve your bread baking skills. The formula instructions are clear and easy to understand. The only drawbacks that this book brings are in it's quality of publishing. The book was published in China, it is hardcover but, the cover stock used is very weak and flexes under the weight of the book.
Just wanted to let you know that the quality of the information surpasses the quality of the book itself.
