This is a valuable new cider book
Liz Copas, the author of this book has been Cider Pomologist at Long Ashton for the last 20 years. There are 20 or so pages of interesting introduction about Somerset Cider Apples and their use historically, and a bit about the latest UK cider revival, and then 80 individual apples described in detail with botanical, orcharding and cider characteristics PLUS coloured plates of each. A great addition to the cider literature

I love these trees and their fruit
Liz Copas knows what she is talking about (Go Google) and has produced a book which has just the right mix of historical observation, contemporary discussion, monochrome and colour pictures and descriptions of the apples themselves. There is a great feeling for the Somerset cider apple heritage.

Anyone who loves reals cider should get this very economically proced book
