The manufacture of pre-packed sandwiches is now a large industry, consuming large quantities of bread. Such sales growth is obviously caused by a population that is short of time rather than money. The two hardest decisions in writing this book are what to put in and what to leave out. While the length is decided by the publisher there is no room to produce an encyclopedia. An attempt has been made to cover examples of the commonest types of product. Inevitably there has to be a great deal about bread in this work but it is not solely about bread, other baked goods have their place in the book just as they do in the bakery industry.
