Editing sloppy but message clear - but this book!
Too many books written for people interested in starting their own business are written by professional writers who have no conception of just how deeply one's determination must be if they are to succeed. This book is not one of those.

Zachary Schat has done a great job explaining the pitfalls and rewards of owning your own bakery. I re-lived my early days in starting my bakery, Billy Boy's, that one day would venture before the world as Billy Bob's Pot Pies fast food franchise.

Although this book concentrates on his experience in bread-baking, it is general enough that it can be used in any sort of bakery and many deli's and restaurants.

Future editions, though, should be better edited to clean up the grammar and typos; include more photos; and to better articulate the costing and pricing procedures.

Again, this is an excellent book that I will keep in my reference library.
