Summary: A must have in your cookbook library
Comment: After receiving a bread machine as a gift, I lacked ideas beyond the ones that came with the machine. I scoured the library but ultimately found this one at a local bookstore.
Pros:
Each recipe has instructions for regular or large loaf - nice to have the ingredients listed side by side for comparison. My machine (Bakers Choice) when baking a large loaf was really too small, since the loaf rose to the window. To alleviate this, I primarily use the large recipe for when I am going to bake the loaf in the oven.
Cons:
No pictures or pictures of steps when creating the hand items from the Pastry Shop and Pushcart Chapters
Instructions to bake the bread in oven is loosely covered on page 30, if you want to use the recipe for dough only, you are stuck trying to figure out temperature and baking time.
Good Old New York Deli Rye bread as noted by other reviewers called for TOO much liquid.
This book gives the reader some good tips on creating great breads and if you use your imagination to increase or decrease the spices you will be quite pleased with your end product. Without a doubt, the Homey White Bread was consistently delicious, and one I refer to often. Onion and Sage Focaccia blew my dinner guests away, it looked like specialty bread purchased at a bakery and was excellent!
Other breads in this book worth mentioning are:
Chocolaty Walnut Brownie Bread, Old-Fashioned Buttermilk White, Cinnamon Raisin (add more cinnamon and raisins), Fresh Herb, Sweet Almond and Cherry, Challah, Tropical Hawaiian Bubble, Golden Wheat (added 1/2 sunflowers & 1/4 cup water), Semolina with Toasted Sesame Seeds (more water and less seeds), Crumb Buns (triple crumb recipe), Basic Chewy New York-Style Bagels (didn't think turning helped the rising process).

Summary: Great Recipes!
Comment: Really great bread machine cookbook! I've had several machines and lots and lots of cookbooks for making bread in a machine! But this one is one of my all time favorites. The recipe for the Lemon Poppy Seed Bread is so so good! The ingredients used are simple and accurately proportioned to bake beautiful breads.

Summary: fill your kitchen with a heavenly aroma
Comment: If you can make good bread to serve family and friends, your reputation as a cook is assured, even if you don't have time to tackle recipes like creme brulee or seven-layer coconut cake!
As an experienced baker who began with wholegrain loaves back in my pre-machine La Leche league days, I found Tom Lacalamita's clearly written, wide-ranging collection of bread recipes to be a marvelous resource. From family favorites, such as cinnamon-raisin bread, to more exotic ventures like
Pesto-and-toasted walnut bread, this book will make it easy to fill your kitchen with the indescribably delicious odor of baking bread.
You can also use the recipes to make bulk mixes to store in the refrigerator, adding yeast and liquid when it's time to fill the bread machine.
"Artisan" bread is increasingly popular at your local deli, and there are recipes here to make your own; semolina bread, olive and rosemary, tomato and basil, farmhouse potato, and many others--all with little effort and spectacular results.
If you use the timer on your appliance, your famiy can wake up to the enticing get-out-of-bed aroma of fresh bread, as we have done for many years.
I recommend this book as a "must-have" for your culinary repertoire!

Summary: Great source for exotic bread recipes
Comment: This is an excellent introductory recipe book - I would highly recommend it. I have tried the Homey White Bread, Olive and Rosemary bread, bagels, pizza dough focaccia and pumpernickel and I have been extremely impressed with how like the 'real' thing they are - especially the bagels, which I now routinely make on a weekend to stock up because they are infinitely better than supermarket bagels. The pizza and focaccia bread recipes are also perfect.
I think the book lacks a good basic white and brown (wheat)bread recipe - many of the white bread recipes I tried were a little too sweet - almost like cakes, and I have been searching for a recipe for a 'good crusty on the outside and squidgy on the inside' European white bread for some time now.
Overall, this is a great book and explanatory enough to allow you to be creative once you get the hang of things.

Summary: A good book for beginners
Comment: This is my first bread machine book. I have tried a few recipes. The brioche was not great but was acceptable. I have made the cinnamon raisin bread and homestyle white which are great.
