This book really is a bible. I made a few breads out of it and hope I can get a hard cover copy for my bday. There are a ton more I'd love to try out. I highly suggest getting this book if you are a baker and have a bread machine.

Every recipe I've tried in this cookbook has been a winner.

I've read the book but haven't tried any of the recipes yet so I'm going to hold off rating until I have some practical experience with the recipes under my belt. I like what I've seen, though!
