I'm an experienced bread maker, and can make any bread from croissants to fry bread to classic white bread.  That means that while I don't need the directions for basics such as proofing, kneading, etc., I can definitely tell the difference between accurate directions and leaving the novice in a state of confusion.Basically, this is a good solid cookbook.  It's got a lot more variety in the bread recipes than most of the bread oriented cookbooks on Kindle have had, in my experience.  For that, I really like the book.  There are a couple that are going to get a test in my ovens very soon.  For the recipes alone, I'd have to recommend the cookbook.As for the directions for the novice bread maker, most of them are not indecipherable due to the typos in punctuation and spelling.  There are some incomplete sentences, but it didn't "ruin" the book.  They just kind of left me scratching my head.  Those who find that the typos bother them to the point of ruining the book probably didn't read all of the directions prior to making their decision--most of it isn't that bad.  Yes, it would be  nice if it had been proofread better, but such is the way of things, I suppose!The table of contents was there, the recipes seem to be complete, and overall, I still like this book.  If you want to bake bread, this is one of the better small bread cookbooks on Kindle that I've read.  There is at least a recipe or two for everyone!
