ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The author wishes to thank several people whose advice was invaluable in writing this book: Megan Annand on law; Leo Kline on sourdough theory; Ralph Salaices on sourdough practice; Jon Carroll and Felicity O’Meara on geography. If any tiny liberties have been taken with facts, it is absolutely not the fault of these good people. Nor are any of the characters in this book meant to resemble them or anyone else. The same goes for bakeries and baking families: All depicted herein are wholly fictitious.
