The book is built to withstand the kitchen (in this case) and allow for easy use. A very enjoyable process not trying to find interesting items that will hold the book on the page that doesn't block the words. Book was protected appropriately to survive the shipping process and from a content of the book, it is simply an impressive book with lots of value outside the the recipes, and the recipes tried so far have been amazing.
A friend has the book and I was watching her bake bread. I was impressed by how easy it was to use. So I ordered one. Haven't used it yet, but it feels sturdy and easy to use. Can't wait to start.
Not only is the book itself awesome - the bread is amazing! - but the ability to lay the book open and not fight with flipping pages is wonderful and makes following recipes much easier!
First-the content of the book is wonderful, but the spiral binding and ability to keep it open to the right page without help while wrists deep in dough is everything. Will definitely be buying from here again.
Very well written book. Great detail and content. However, the publisher has not properly adjusted the margins for the spiral bound version. With this oversight some text and figures are cutoff by the holes for the spiral binding.
