by George A. Stilphen
Originally published in 1993, this exhaustive, one-of-a-kind identification guide is the one definitive work dealing with the history, physical and cultural characteristics of the more than 700 varieties of apples known to have been grown in the northeastern United States during the past four centuries.
This book caused a sensation in the pomological world when it first appeared and so it remains today. There is truly nothing like it! The Apples of Maine not only treats each and every variety at length, but within its pages are also listed virtually every known pomological source in the American English language. There is also a glossary of pomological terms, and, to assist the in-depth researcher, there are four appendices and four indices filled with never before published information. This is truly a must-have book for both the part-time apple hobbyist as well as the advanced researcher. The style of writing speaks equally well to both.
Because The Apples of Maine is still in constant demand and has, in fact, become a rare, out-of-print book, the author has decided to release a limited second printing of this autographed and numbered, elegantly hardbound work of over 400 pages. Furthermore, the 1993 price of $45.00, postpaid anywhere in the world, is still in effect. This is planned to be the last printing of this title; don't miss out.
