Please tell us what is in this invaluable book on CD? I have looked at
the sample, is it full of herloom varieties of UK only? Is it 100+
photos? Why would I want this as a home gardener?

Just an FYI to interested parties. The Marcher Apple Network (MAN)
from
the UK is organizing the production of a CD-ROM featuring the color
plates and descriptions from the Herefordshire Pomona. Expected cost
of
the CD-ROM with shipping to the USA will be $30 US. This is likely
going to be an excellent opportunity for those of us who are not
independently wealthy to obtain a copy of this invaluable resource.
I have included text from Andrew Lea's email about the subject, which
is
taken from the Marcher apple Network:
where order forms can be downloaded. I expect to load an example of
part
of a plate and the corresponding description in a couple of weeks'
time.
This will allow anybody interested in a copy of the CD to get a
preview
of what will be available. It will also allow anybody with less usual
operating systems and/ or browsers to check that they will have no
problems accessing the data on the CD. (The plates and descriptions
will
be set up as a website on the CD so there will be no need to install
any
software on purchaser's computers)"
