Title: For bakers by bakers
Review: Written and created by a team of bakers just for me!! If you sniff the pages I swear I can smell the flour. The book arrived 11-01-24, safely in a box and contains all the correct pages. 460 pages make this a big, heavy book. There is no wasted space anywhere. It's organized logically, useful appendices based on time needed and leavening ingredients. There are NO recipes requiring specific ingredients to be purchased only from KA. Recipes that call for a pre-ferment also include an alternate work around in case you want to make and bake the same day.The font is a good size, easy to readfrom countertop height and the paper is thick but not shiny so there's no glare. The pictures are beautiful, without distractions, and are useful to show exactly what you want your finished bake to look like.This is a great book with explanations of why and how without getting too far into the weeds, no junk recipes to fill up space. I feel like the King Arthur Baking Company read my mind and gave me the perfect bread book. Oh and there's a ribbon bookmark.

Title: Exceptionally well done
Review: I’ve been baking artisanal and sourdough breads for years. I’m sceptical of most bread books but, thinking the world of the King Arthur folks, I took a chance on this cookbook. It’s very very well done and truly has something for everyone. It has instructional components for less experienced bakers, but is not dumbed down. On the other end of the spectrum it has a number of unique recipes that more experienced bakers will find interesting and worth their time. The illustrations and photography are outstanding.This is one of the very few (3 or 4) bread books that I would highly recommend.

Title: King Aurthur Does it Again!
Review: Love this book, tells the why am I doing this, and really explains it in real world language. Also give alternatives if you don't have the latest and greatest tools. Great section on Flat breads from all over. Great on Sourdough, it doesn't cover everything, but I plan to eat my way through the entire book. Try each recipe at least once. I have recently purchased several bread books, but this is by far my favorite. Great pictures, *drool* and illustrations on how to do bread folds, etc. And places to go to see it more illustrated as in videos etc. It is just a good book. Well written. Well thought out. So buy it, and have fun going through each recipe. Even Pullman and everyday breads.

Title: Somewhat disappointed
Review: While I found several recipes I want to try I was disappointed by how many of them called for making your own sourdough starter. As such none of those recipes can be made on a whim. Not unless you have a starter and have kept it going. I don’t and won’t as I don’t make bread often enough to make that worth my time. So, for me the book was a little disappointing.
