From Booklist
This lovely and informative book is published in association with the Brogdale Horticultural Trust of Kent, England, which boasts the largest apple collection in the world, containing both ancient and modern varieties. There is a detailed history of the fruit, starting with the Middle Ages, when most apples were destined for the cider press, and a directory of more than 2,000 of the world's varieties (with cider apples listed in a separate directory). The directories provide a summary of each variety's (cultivar's) characteristics and history. There is an appendix on cooking with apples, which contains 11 recipes, one on growing apples, and a third that lists apple organizations worldwide. Thirty-two opulent color paintings and 70 black-and-white illustrations (including Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, of course) are included. George Cohen
