Summary: Never go to the bakery again!
Comment: This book is great! If you are really into the art of break baking, this book is a winner. If you need immediate gratification, stick to the bakery! The recipes are easy to follow but some of them are time consuming. I have made three recipes so far and the reviews have been extremely positive!

Summary: For those who want a magical baking experience
Comment: Bought this book in 1979 and have made almost every recipe in it. Bernard Clayton is meticulous with his instructions and, if you follow them exactly, you will have amazingly delicious results. Every recipe is a treasure -- I have so many favorites. It is fascinating to learn about the dramatic differences in taste and texture that result from slight variations in ingredients (starter made with white vs. whole wheat, for example, or a tablespoon of honey or a splash of buttermilk), and modest variations in technique.
A few years ago, my family and I made a pilgrimage to the rue Cherche Midi to sample the bread in Poilane's bakery. I was amazed to find that the baguette tasted almost exactly like the one I had been making at home in my own oven for more than 20 years!
I own many bread books, but this is the one I love best because these are the recipes that give me the greatest pleasure to make.

Summary: Its not all baguettes.
Comment: I found a ... paperback copy of the book and bought it primarily for the pictures of the many different shapes and types of bread in France. It is useful for that but has value for the many recipes included. I first tried the recipe for the Poilane boule. My effort was creditable, quite edible, and with a few hundred repetions may approach the original. There are many recipes for many breads from many regions of France. As a reference for the many possibilities it is excellent. While it is not the first book a novice to bread baking should acquire, it is an excellent one for someone whose interest in the subject has undergone at least the first fermentation.
