CAMRA's guide to producers and outlets in 2000 with over 100 pages of additional articles, 'a snip at the used price' Dave Matthews (then a teacher) took a year off work to prepare this book, He later went on to become a cidermaker and a founder of The Welsh Perry and Cidermakers Association.

On the back of the book it says:
"One of the great drinking experiences of the world is natural cider, made from traditional apple varieties. It is deliciously mellow, aromatic and intoxicating. Equally exquisite is the fragrance and flavour of perry, a wonderful drink made from pears.
CAMRA's Good Cider Guide, edited by Dave Matthews, brings you the information you need to find and enjoy these fine drinks, and is fully illustrated with photographs and cider labels throughout.
