The author is English and tends to refer primarily on British ovens and on baking bread. I bought the book to build an Italian style pizza oven, however the book mentions pizza only a few times. The plans on how to build a wood-fired oven are helpful and I am glad that such a book exists.

I was hoping for more theory and explaination about size, height, chimney placement etc.<p>In British fashion, the author uses more words than necessary to explain himself (think Dickens). <p>Overall, not a complete waste of time, but less helpful than the title would lead you to believe.

Which by the way -- there are no finsihed pictures. I actually saw the finished oven on ebay. When it towers over the 6' privacy fence - you began to rethink making it.

I don't have much use for the metric system and am real tired of the damn Euros and Canucks trying to force the US to comply to their useless way of measurement. Secondly, this isn't new material, but rather old rehash of rather mundane common knowledge...I donated the book to a middle school library...which is the level of understanding that's needed to get through this book. Amazon please don't recommend books that don't meet the same level or better than those I have previously purchased from you. At least Barnes and Noble can accomplish this simple feat.
