On the back of the book it says:
"Now including Cider Apples from all the major cider growing counties; Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Gloucestershire, Hereford and Worcester and including thennew 21st Century Cider Apples, the Girls.
Liz copas, Cider Pomologist at Long Ashton Research Station and Orcharding Advisor for the National Association of Cider Makers for many years, has put together this extended edition of the Pomona.
So much has happened in the cider world since 1999 when the first edition was published. This book comes at a time when cider drinking and cidermaking has never been so popular and the conservation of traditional values and the coonservation of regional distinctiveness is imperative. The continued success of our craft ciders depends so much on the raw materials, cider apples.
This book describes the merits of a wide range of apples that the average hunter-gatherer cidermaker might be able to find and gives plenty of help in tracking them down and identifying them.
Over 160 varieties are described together with cider making qualities, all with full colour photos, line drawings and keys to aid identification."
