Yeah, you're right Reinhart's book isn't cheap but I think it is worth
it. Ed's book was joy to read also, I've just only ever made one recipe
from it. The thing I find frustrating about it is the info seams to be
scattered about the book. If I wanted to make one recipe I'd need to
look up how to make up the starter. I couldn't find that last time I
looked and ending up just guessing it at 100%.

Reinhart does use yeast a lot, but that's okay, the principles for the
dough and baking are the same.

If you're a baker already then definitely go for Ed's.
