Excellent resource for beginner or expert baker

This book opened my eyes to new ideas about baking breads. I particulary enjoy the many recipes that use the "sponge" method. I reccommend this book for beginners and experts alike.
I could live on bread and water...

Expertly written: examines the varieties of wheat and grains used in bread baking which opened up the whole history of agriculture to me which I continue to research; explores methods for successful homemade breads that I've played with now for several years; unique recipes for sensational, healthful, chewy, nutty homemade wheat breads; unimaginably wonderful recipes like the Asparagus and Artichoke Torte with red peppers, onions, garlic, cheeses...and a variety of recipes of savory spreads for breads. The inspirational and beautiful photographs grace the book - like California Walnut Bread shaped in a Maltese cross on the book's cover - I keep displayed on my kitchen counter in a clear cookbook holder. The book explores bread as a very aromatic and romantic food...It's my source of choice for bread baking.
