Apple: A Global History (Edible)

No comment

This is a nice little article on the apple, its origins, uses and cultivation. I enjoyed it and learned quite a bit.But this work is much to short to justify its price. It is fluffed out with photos that are not very useful of a black-and-white Kindle. Then there is a list of the different varieties of apples and further padding is provided by a list of recipes.This might be acceptable at half the price. All in all, you would do better with the Wikipedia article.

This little book contains a treasure trove of interesting information about apples--where they originated, how they spread around the world, where they pop up in fables/stories, as well as practical advice about how to select tasty apples and cook them. At 130 pages, this is a fast, fun read. It's also well illustrated with photos and other apple-centric art and images. A fantastic book!

Easy reading for introduction to the basic apple story. History, cultivation, varieties, uses. Good price. Good start for beginning grower or reseller

As a grandchild of apple orchard people, I found a lot of the info in here interesting. Turns out there might be a reason to go see Afghanistan if you love apples and history.

I wanted a book about apples. This is it. It is a little short but a good read. Enjoyed it.

If you don't have any other literature about apples, this one can be an OK read.

Very informative.
