Good bread needs more than just flower and water, milk, or eggs. It requires nurturing and care.

And in a new afterword, he reflects on the widespread influence of the book, and offers five new recipes.
Review
"This was the first cookbook I ever bought for myself, back when it was first published. To this day, I consider The Tassajara Bread Book to have been a major influence not just on my cooking and baking, but on my attitude and philosophy about food in general. Thank you, Ed Brown, for this lasting gift." Mollie Katzen, author of The Moosewood Cookbook and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest
