It's undeniable that Ken Haedrich has got an incredible assortment of recipes in this book--I've tried several of them and most of them were delicious. However, I found that some of his fruit pie recipes required more thickener (cornstarch) than he called for, as his amounts left the pie runny (even after letting it rest for a few hours, as he suggests).
There are however, a lot of interesting recipes that I've tried that came out absolutley perfect: Like Virginia Diner's Peanut Pie, Caramel Apple Pecan Pie, Maple Custard Pie, too name a few.
He offers a nice variety of crust recipes, and if you are sure to read his crust-making tips before venturing to make them, your crusts will ALWAYS come out as it should.
One of the best things about his book is the "Recipe for Success" portion for each recipe that gives wonderful tips on how to achieve the perfect pie.

I always wanted to learn how to make pies. I've got millions of recipes for crust and couldn't find that I wanted. My husband gave me this book as one of Christmas present. Ooooh, my goodness!!! All crust recipes are excellent and very easy to make too. Now, I make a pie everyweekend for our treat!!
Sweet, savory, and very highly recommended January 6, 2005

Other pie cookbooks on the market range from the mix-based quick pie guide type to the master recipe collection intended for advanced cooks: Ken Haedrich's Pie: 300 Tried-and-True Recipes For Delicious Homemade Pie falls somewhere inbetween the two, providing beginners with an exceptionally easy basic understanding of how to cook a pie, while packing in dishes from bakeries, cooks and specialty shops across the country. Pie features tried-and-true recipes for 300 delicious creations, all of them sweet, savory, and very highly recommended
