Four and a half stars though I haven't made anything from it. I copied a modest four recipes and can't wait to try them. The book is lovely. The layout fantastic. It is well put together and I trust it sight unseen. Or, taste untasted.
Baking from it monthly with ABC Bakers. So far I really like it. Instructions are very clear and very describing. This books works and not only with US flours. (which is a major review point in my book)

I really wasn't that thrilled with the book. The recipes seemed fussy and several was spread over 2 (or more) pages. I am looking for more easy-going recipes.
I haven't made that many cakes etc out of it but those that I have made are excellent!
Too fussy and pretentious.
