Russ if you're new to making bread, period, I'd suggest something like
Peter Reinhart The Bread Baker's Apprentice. Honestly everyone makes so
much fuss about the starter, there's a few basics to grasp, once you've
got them you really need to learn how to handle the dough and shape it.
Peter Reinhart's book has some good photos to help here. Any yeasted
bread recipe will work for sourdough as long as you increase the rise
times and leave out the yeast. : -) The starter amount will vary
depending on temps, timing and some will tell you personal taste but
what works is what works. As much respect as I have for Ed I don't look
at his book very often.
