What's wrong with Ed Wood's book, "Classic Sourdoughs"? It even has a
recipe for bread machine sourdough. And he uses cup measure.

NB: I am not promoting his book - I don't even have a copy, since I
long ago turned in the one I got from the library.

Of all the writers I have read - mostly just the classics - his
appears to be the most reasonable. If I had to buy only one bread
book, I would buy his. The others are filled with too much trivia and
arcane details that only a cult fetishist would enjoy.
