Summary: Great book on making Mead
Comment: I recently purchased this book and another one called Making Mead Honey Wine and both of these books are great for learning how to make mead. I tried mead for the 1st time at a Renassance Festival; it was very good and had a nice kick to it. I would definately recommend this book to someone wanting to make mead for the 1st time. Contains a lot of useful information.

Summary: An excellent overview
Comment: There are as many approaches to mead as there are mead makers, so it's nice to read a book that runs the gamut of instruction from "as long as your equipment is sanitized and your ingredients quality you'll probably be fine" to "these are the most common ways to tweak the ph/gravity/sugar content/anything you can think of to tweak in a mead recipe". Sometimes you want precision, sometimes you want happy accidents and it's nice to see a text that allows for that kind of flexibility.
It was very straight forward; leaning a bit heavier towards technique, but with enough recipes/examples to illustrate and inspire (a balance I've definitely come to appreciate in any instructional text).It had just enough of the hard science of brewing to further my understanding of the subject without making me bemoan my lack of an Organic Chem course during college.
In the end I think the best judge of an instructional book is if reading it makes me start a mental wish-list of what to buy the nest time I play with that specific hobby, and I've already started working out the contents of my next brewstore order.

Summary: Excellent book
Comment: I found this book to be very good. It covers the making of meads including: sack, metheglin, melomel, pyment, and braggot. Includes in bottle carbonating technique. It covers selecting ingredients and equipment and discusses all aspects of the fermentation process. It also includes a history of mead making. Has some technical information on the chemical composition of honey.
Best resource for mead making that I have found so far.

Summary: Mead Making Bible
Comment: I've been brewing beer off and on for over 10 years now, and was interested in making mead. While on my quest for knowledge I kept hearing about this book by Schramm??, on all of the brewing forums. I finally got The Compleat Mead Maker and was thoroughly suprised and happy at how much information was packed into this wonderful book. It gives a history of mead, some basic recipes and alot of other valuable information for someone looking to brew up mead.

Summary: Comprehensive guide for a beginner Meadmaker, and beyond
Comment: I was impressed with the book from the get-go. A good history of honey and mead to start with, and an excellent guide to producing your first batch. That is just in the first, say, 30 pages. The rest continues with valuable advanced recipes and techniques. I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in making their own mead.
