Bread-Bakers v108.n041.3

I've been reading a lot about this book here recently. I'm really 
tempted to get it, but just wanted to check. Some years ago I bought 
No Need to Knead (not sure if that's exactly the right title) and in 
the end gave it away, as I found the bread to be solid, sort of wet 
and more like crumpets than real bread. Is there any difference in 
the methods used in the two books?

Thanks, Elisabeth
