Description: (TLDR)
Lots of nice pictures and articles from various contributors such as Ted Bruning, Dave Matthews and Tom Oliver on Cidermaking, Cider At Home, Cider Abroad and Conservation with lots of useful information. Easy to read and a good all round introduction to the subject.
On the back of the book it says:
"Proper cider and perry - sprightly and gloriously sharp - made with apples and pears and nothing but, is a wonderful drink. But there's so much more to it than that. It has lore and legend, magic and mystique. More than any other native British beverage, it connects the drinker with the countryside, with country people of the past and their customs and beliefs. Take a golden glass of cider, and one sip can conjure up a scene of autumn mists strolling lazily over gently sloping fields, ancient hedgerows and orchards laden with ripe fruit. But to experience all of this for yourself you must do more than merely drink - you must visit the ancient orchards. With beautiful colour photography, Cider meets the people who tend our orchards, live with them and extract their refreshing liquid essence.
Cider is a lavishly illustrated celebration of real cider and it's cousin perry, for anyone who wants to learn more about Britain's oldest drink. With features on the UK's most interesting and characterful cider and perry makers, how to make your own cider, foreign ciders, and the best places to drink cider - including unique dedicated cider houses, award winning pubs and year-round CAMRA festivals all over the country - Cider is the essential book for any cider or perry lover."
