I originally bought this book when it was first published in the 1980's. Up to that point I had been baking yeast bread using a mixer with a stainless steel bowl. I let the appliance do the kneading.

This is my go-to bread book even after 10 years of use. I've used is so much I need to have it spiral bound at Staples. I don't want to replace as I have written comments and dates next to all the recipes I've tried. I just made sourdough oat bread this weekend (5/09).

I think the only thing that matters when you buy or read a cookbook is that the recipes work. Well, and sometimes pictures are nice. You won't find any pictures in this book, but you'll find page after page of recipes that actually turn out like they're supposed to. My copy is literally falling apart, and that about says it all.
When I first found this book in the library, I kept it overdue for at least two months, trying to bake everything in it. Next to Clayton's New Complete Book of Breads, this one is the most important bread book on my shelf.
I get all of my waffle and pancake recipes from this book. There are also a lot of bread recipes!
