I want to point out that I'm not new to baking, not new to bread baking, and not even new to sourdough bread baking. Even so, I followed the instructions carefully so as not to allow my assumptions to interfere with some new ideas.
The starter was the first problem. I was intrigued by the idea of using fruit juice instead of water for the initial starter. It got bubbly, I stirred as directed, and... before it got to the rise-fall state it's supposed to get to, it got moldy. I mean, really gross. OK, binned that and started over.
This time, the starter seemed more successful. When it came time to stir the starter, I moved it from its jar to a clean, sterilized jar - mold problem solved. I got the rise and fall this time, and it was time to try it in a bread recipe.
I chose the English muffins. There's nothing like homemade English muffins, so I got started. I weighed the flour, starter, and water just as I was supposed to (weighing ingredients is still a slightly foreign concept here in the US), added salt when I was supposed to, and set it aside to proof for the 3-4 hours specified in the recipe.
Four hours gone, there's no activity at all, no rise, no nothing. I left it out overnight to see if that would help anything. No. One thing I noticed in the recipe was that this is supposed to be a dry dough. Mine was far from dry; it was roughly the consistency of cake batter before it bakes. Not going to be able to roll and shape that.
Not wanting to waste a pound or so of flour (I recognize that this part is no fault of Dr. Morton's), I added another half-pound or so of flour and threw in some yeast. I set that aside to rise (which it did, finally), tossed it all in a loaf pan, and proofed and baked it as I would any other loaf of bread. It's not a bad loaf, but it sure isn't English muffins.
I looked through the troubleshooting tips; none seemed to apply to my situation. I can't for the life of me figure out what I did wrong.
I expect I'll try a couple more times; if I'm at all successful, I'll update my review. Sorry, James, I really wanted to like this one.
*** UPDATE 1 Nov 2019 ***
Trying the English muffins again. This time, I compared the recipe to several others. One thing that stood out is that this recipe uses twice as much water as starter; in the other recipes, they use twice as much starter as water. When I reversed the amounts of starter and water called for (150g starter became 300g, and 300g water became 150g), I got a much better dough. Still doesn't rise, though (overnight in a properly warm spot got nowhere), so once again, I added yeast. I'm waiting for that to rise now; I expect I'll get an acceptable result this time.
My review is still one star, though - a cookbook with recipes that don't work is pretty useless.

I have made focaccia following other recipes, and they turned out beautifully. This was far from beautiful. Any baker with less experience would be blaming themselves for the way the dough turned out, and it would most definitely not be their fault.
I baked it anyway, as I didn’t want to chuck it out. It baked fine and tasted good, but it lacked the characteristic focaccia dimples as the dough was too fluid to hold them when I stuck my fingers in it to make them: it stuck to my fingers like glue, and did not leave any trace of finger marks.
I am not going to use it again, as I have no faith that any other recipes will work. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. This book is going into the recycling as I do not think it is good enough to be passed on.

As always, Morton’s self-deprecating, conversational style of writing makes this as much a work of non-fiction prose as it is a cook-book. You can delve as shallowly or deeply into the bread basket of sourdough as you wish; Morton starts with the basic all you need to know before delving into the minutiae (and microbiology) in detail: which you want to use, as he states, is up to you.
Ending with delicious recipes and an troubleshooting guide, this really seems to be The only sourdough book you’ll ever need (has there ever been a more hipster statement? No. None more hipster.)
Now, time to stir my starter. ‘Jimmy Apples’ is beginning to look hungry...
