Title: New Book
I just got a copy of "Success with Apples and Pears to Eat and Drink" by Alan Rowe http://www.growingapplesandpears.co.uk/grower/book.asp
For anyone interested in UK apple or pear varieties, including perry pears and cider apples, this is a worthwhile book. The variety section is a large one and has a number of very nice color photos. Also, the author includes a number of personal comments on the varieties that I, as an American, found insightful in that they show the taste preferences of English apple growers.
There is also a fair bit of history in the book, although some of it tends to go off on a tangent now and then.
Just the same, the book is a good one for the apple fanatics out there.
