I purchased this cookbook soon after receiving a bread machine as a gift in 1998. I make notes in the margins of recipes I've used...what I liked, or didn't like, the overall results, what adjustments needed to be made, etc. I have used this book so much that the pages are soiled and worn. Not all the recipes I tried were pleasing to me or my family, but that was more a matter of taste, rather than flaws in the directions. It is not realistic to expect everyone to enjoy every recipe. People have different palates. That is no reason to rate the book poorly.
One reviewer reported that the peasant bread burned up his machine. In the instructions Ms. German states that the "dough will appear moist". This is hardly a condition that would strain a healthy motor. I suspect, instead, user error. The way the ingredients are formatted for 3 different size loaves, it is possible to read the liquid from one column, but the flour from another. This could account for the dough being too stiff, and that would not be the fault of the book.
I have made the peasant bread many times with no problems. When I gave my daughter a bread machine, I got her this cookbook at the same time. She also is very pleased with it, and the peasant bread is her favorite. She makes it, on average, 3 times a month.
Besides giving this book 5 stars, I have to disagree with those who rated it poorly. This book is worth every penny and much more.

This book is the right size for a beginner, like me. I got tired of the price of bread here in Hawaii constantly going up (regular bread at $4) and the quality was so bad at times with some of the local bakers using baking powder to get their rise. I had a bread machine for many years but only used bought bread machine mix (they also cost $4). So, I invested in this book. So, far I am very happy with the results. The instructions are pretty easy and for a beginner, it was effortless. While doing the recipes, I have learned how each ingredient changes the final bread. Following the ingredients strictly does provide nice bread, but I have learned to make slight changes to make it more to my liking (I prefer softer crust and fluffier bread).
These days, I use the bread maching to mainly make the dough, which I store in refrigerator in plastic zip bags for later use. If you are a first time breadmachine bread maker. This is the right choice.
