Nearly thirty years ago my father R.K. French wrote a book 'The History and Virtues of Cyder'. This book has inspired many cyder makers over the years. Written when cyder was possibly at it's lowest ebb, the book is a plea for the return to real cyder as opposed to 'white cider' - the carbonated chemical soup the bain of many a fifteen year old getting drunk on a park bench. Well from my generation anyway. Anyway this awesome book has been republished. Buy it! Please.
