I think there are two people signing off with Roland posting. One me
(responsible for some of the original reviews) and someone else who
recently plugged the Wood book. Now that I know, I will try to remember
to sign off with Roland S to help distinguish us. I am just popping
back temporarily so do not actually expect to participate a lot.

Since the time many of the books were reviewed there have been a lot
more books on bread. For example at the time I plugged Laurel
Robertson, Bernard Clayton was the standard tome and he mainly had an
encyclopedic collection of recipes. The window pane test that I
suggested was a good end point described in the Robertson book now is
found in every single book. The more recent books are better
illustrated, have more specific information etc. Each has its own
advantages. Not much interest on my end of reviewing them but the bar
has risen a lot since the time I wrote the original reviews.
