While I haven't seen the "New Complete Book of Breads" I do have the
ORIGINAL (i.e., first edition) of the "Complete Book of Breads". It is
over 20 years old and is falling to pieces. It is certainly without a
doubt the best bread-makers book I've ever encountered, so I would
expect no less of the new one!
FYI, Bernard Clayton Jr. has also published other books on baking and
cooking. There may be others, but the two I've seen (and own) are on
pies and pastries, and soups and stews. Needless to say they are also
worth the money!
