Thanks for this notification. It reminded me that I actually bought this book, in Kindle version, in 2018! Must dust off the electrons and give it a try.

My favorite bread machine cookbook:

And a smattering of others:

Thanks for those listings, @dtremit. I bit on a couple of them.

 

For anyone considering the Joshua McFadden book, I recommend reading this topic that @blue_dolphin began back in 2018:
