Summary: Superb Reference!
Comment: An excellent reference. I haven't worked up to all-grain yet, but the wealth of information on yeasts, hops, styles, adjuncts, you name it, is golden! The recipes are, in my opinion, nearly useless as they seem to be culled from can labels and extract kits, have bad advice (as someone has already noted) that directly contradict Snyder's instructions, and often have bizarre or proprietary items in the list of ingredients. Marty Nachel's Dummies recipies are much better. Actually, the two books complement each other nicely.

Best part of the book: the table of style components. Very handy for constructing a recipe; grain, extracts, water, yeast. Fabulous!

Summary: poorly organized, mostly recipes and reference tables
Comment: This book has a clever name, but is hardly the "Brewmaster's Bible" (unless he means to say you need FAITH to use this book to brew). Of its 400 pages, 300 are recipes. Much of the other 100 pages consists of reference tables, while only a few poorly organized sections explain concepts or tell how to brew.

Better to get the Papazian book (for beginners) or Greg Noonan and Ray Daniels books (for advanced brewers).

Summary: Complete Reference Material
Comment: This book goes into every aspect of brewing, giving fantastic reference charts for hops, yeasts, beer styles, grains, carbonation, etc. I refer to this book every time I brew. This is not some lame homebrewing recipe book, that are a dime a dozen. This is the only book I use over and over-- the rest of my books gather dust on the shelf.
