In fact, they say it in the introduction: Food without the depth and spice of context is “like leaving out the oven temperature or the amount of salt in the bread;” it just doesn’t work and leaves the reader underwhelmed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLess conscientious authors might let the subject matter diminish and muddy under the weight of its breadth, but Alford and Duguid’s headnotes are alluring and insightful, making the case obvious, not confounding, that injera, naan, pancake, crepe, focaccia, pizza, khachapuri, dosa, tortilla, pita, piki, lavash, and bannock all belong in the same book. And, of course, it’s not just the breads here but their accompaniments too. A highly rewarding book worthy of any collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFine book block and case with a Very Good, lightly shelfworn jacket. \u003cstrong\u003eFirst printing\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003esigned\u003c\/strong\u003e by both authors.
