by Roger B. Yepsen. Hardcover - 255 pages 1st edition (September 1994)
W.W. Norton & Company; ISBN: 0393036901
Picture-perfect
apples with lackluster flavor dominate the American and European markets because they have
the longest shelf life and broadest appeal. At the same time, there is a renaissance of
interest in preserving precious, personality-packed heirloom apples. To lure people into
joining this small but growing movement, Roger Yepsin has created this visually enchanting
book devoted to the infinitely varied apple. In it, he talks about how apples are grown,
stored, and used to make cider and harder alcoholic beverages, as well as for cooking and
eating. In this small and elegant book, artist/writer Roger Yepsen presents fascinating
facts about more than 200 varieties of apples growing in the United States. With beautiful
and distinctive watercolors, he makes identification a snap. He also reveals how each
variety tastes.

BOOK Apples
By Frank Browning. Published September 1998, 224 pages, hardcover, North Point
Press. ISBN: 0865475377
This book is
for apple lovers, Hudson Valley Apples or otherwise — An engaging look at
the world's most popular fruit. "I was raised surrounded by apples." So begins
Frank Browning's account of his lifelong fascination with the fruit his parents grew in
their orchard in the Appalachian hills of Kentucky. Throughout Western memory, the apple
has been the fruit of trouble, temptation, and immortality. Paris and the Trojan War.
Nordic Loki and the apples of eternal life. And, of course, that troubled couple in the
garden. Browning leads us on a beguiling journey through the primal myths of the world's
most popular fruit and then explains that the first apples really appeared in Kazakhstan
on the slopes of the Heavenly Mountains. From the apple's origins in antiquity to its
reinvention by the alchemists of genetic engineering, from its niche in the global
marketplace to its fiery transformations in the pot stills of France, Browning shows us
how this mysterious fruit of the tree of all knowledge continues to tempt and delight us.
