I bought this book when I was searching for a specific recipe. This title happened to have that which I was seeking at the time, and I brought it home. I will confess, it is not a book I use often, as I prefer a different style of bread than many of the recipes presented in it, but it still is a good volume with good recipes.

I am a bread baker who likes a plain, "honest" loaf of bread, not enriched with a lot of fruit, vegetables, nuts and cheeses. If I want that kind of bread, I make something like cinnamon buns or a stollen or something. This book is full of recipes that use a variety of these ingredients, and that is a style to which I personally do not adhere. There are recipes that require such things as pumpkin, carrots, and other things not normally found in regular loaf breads.

That said, the recipes in this book are top notch. I have made a few of the more "plain" recipes, and the results have never been less than exceptional. Even if I do not bake in the style presented in this book, I cannot fault the recipes. It's a style issue, not a quality issue.

The book is full of very interesting and informative tidbits that make this book an interesting read in addition to being a cookbook. One section describes the origin of doughnuts (and specifically, the hole in the middle). Another describes an interesting account of where Anadama bread gained its name.

This book has no photographs. Rather, it has lots of pencil drawings to go along with many of the carefully written recipes. The instructions are easy to follow, but the drawings add a nice touch that make the recipes even more complete in many places.

Overall, this book is very well written and organized.

This book has an exceptional recipe for Monkey Bread, the best I have used so far.

If you want a large collection of "plain" recipes, I recommend you look at something else instead of this book. However, if you like variety and you enjoy recipes that make use of unusual ingredients for bread (at least as far as normal loaf bread is concerned), this book will serve you exceedingly well. It's a great book for the adventuresome baker.

I have cooked (and baked) professionally for 20 years. I have amassed a library of 250+ books and this book continuously gets more use than any other. Primiarily because I love to bake and trust The Book of Bread recipes.

Judging from the contents, this is a book of execellence. It contains over 200 recipes on a wide varieties of breads. Unlike other bread or baking books I have, the recipes here are easy to follow, correct in measures, and most of all, taste fantastic. It also contains many bread-making tips/techniques that made a huge difference in the results. If you make bread by hand, or are attempted to try, this is the book. The best $20 I ever invested. Warning. No color photo. Only hand drawings.

As a civil war buff who enjoys touring, I unexpectedly lucked onto this rare,out of print,1991 edition in a major bookstore recently.It was the only copy on the shelf. I devoured it in conjunction a Blue & Gray magazine trilogy about John Singleton Mosby's exploits during the war in Virginia. This Evans/Moyer book is loaded with neat little tid-bits of information about the man, himself, his many facinating associates and opponents, their controversial engagements and the multitude of specific locations where his "Rangers" operated from 1863 to 1865.Fortunately, many of these sites are still available in beautiful, historic, north-central Virginia. I give it 5 stars even though it's map/diagrams are confusing and can only be understood with the assistance of updated, fully detailed maps. Despite these defects the book deserves such a rating.

Thoroughly researched and entertaining, this rare and compelling book is a must have for Civil War enthusiasts. Bravo!!

The Welsh Revival of 1904 is one of the most fascinating of the many experienced in Wales. Evan Roberts is a challenge to the modern pulpiteer in that he was not as well educated or experienced, but he was simply a man whose heart was ablaze for CHRIST. Mr. Jones did a superb job on the entire life of this unique man. I recommend it for it imparts vision and also warning of the enemy's tactics to destroy revival and the ones whom GOD uses. He showed the changes in Evan's life and heart that transpired through the years, yet he clearly showed us that Evan's heart never stopped beating for heaven sent revival!

I confess. I bought this book mainly for myself, an adult. I was "trapped" in the children's section of the book store while my children browsed the books. I found this book. I NEVER baked a loaf of bread from scratch before. I never knew the joy of kneading bread and watching it rise. I was much too intimidated to try from an adult cookbook. This was just what I needed. It is a simple, step by step book on baking all kinds of breads and rolls. I started with a great whole wheat bread recipe. Now I am trying things like my own pita bread and popovers. I love it! And sometimes I even let my children in on the fun!

i had never read a such fantastic book that suit my style so close, i just love all the decoration shown in every pages, and it directed you in a very simple step to help to decorate your own

Rachel Hosmer was a nun in the Order of Saint Helena. She was the headmistress of Margaret Hall School from which I was graduated in the mid 'fifties. She was learned, delightfully amusing, and indeed a saint.

All seniors tood a course in ascetic theology ... a fancy way of saying one tries to discover how to live one's faith in a secular world. Living in the Spirit was based on our course.

It is a book that all ages can enjoy and discuss.

Good supplement to the marvel universe rpg. It adds a fair number of new powers as well as some good villains and heroes from the marvel x-teams. The mini-adventure in the back is top notch and will help inexperienced game masters and players ease into the gaming system. Not a must have, but definitely a nice addition for the marvel gamer.

One of the gratest compliments I ever received for my book "Last Buckaroo" came from Publisher's Weekly when they said it was "reminisant of Max Evan's 'The Rounders'"

The fact that a 1960's TV series was based on this fast moving, comical novel attests to the fact that I was not the only one that felt it was one of the greatest western books that was ever written.

The only sad thing about this story is that it remined me of how much the western lifestyle has changed in such a short period of time.

Thank you Mr. Evans for capturing a few moments of the good times for us in your great book.
