I've got both the KAF Baker's Companion (a great, great book, btw) and their
new KAF Whole Grains Baking. They list ingredients both in volume and weight
(ounces) and heartily encourage bakers to use weights, if possible.

So the 200 Anniversary cookbook was the only one to use volumes

How is the whole grain book? I have not yet seen it.

The copy that I saw used weights as well. See my other post.
BTW, it's one of the better all-in-one baking books out there. It's the
