     I am interested in putting together a list of sourdough and bread
baking books FAQ.  I have put together a proposed template below and
offer it for reader comments.  A couple sample listings are provided
(incomplete) to let you see what the data will look like.  If someone else is
working on a similar list, please contact me so we can coordinate efforts. 
I have quite a few good (and bad) bread books myself, and am willing to
post these as well as the comments extracted from the texts referenced in
the ftp site listings.  I am willing to maintain the list as well.  Please send
any comments, suggestions and criticisms via internet to
msr7@po.cwru.edu (Mark S. Rzeszotarski).

                     Sourdough Bread Books FAQ
     The intent of this FAQ is to provide a summary of the various bread
books available regarding sourdoughs.  A number of books which do not
treat sourdoughs adequately but have other intrinsic virtues are also
included (e.g. "other" bread books, cheese making, Dutch ovens, etc.). 
Please note that reviewers comments reflect their own personal biases and
opinions and should not be construed as an endorsement for any specific
books.
 
The format for each listing consists of the following:
TI: Title of the book
AU: List of authors of the text
IS: ISBN number for the text
YR: Year published
ED: Edition
PB: Publisher name, address, phone number
PA: Number of pages in text
LP: List price  (paper/hardbound)
AV: Availability of the text (in press, out of print, etc.)
CO: Comments about the text, with E-mail address and name of the        
    reviewer.  Multiple individuals can contribute comments about the relative 
    usefullness of each book.  The individual E-mail addresses will facilitate 
    contacting individuals who have these texts for further information.
