APPLES AND THE ART OF DETECTION

Searching for the perfect gift for that apple lover on your holiday list? How about a copy of John’s new book, Apples and the Art of Detection? In it John channels his inner Sherlock Holmes as he searches through Maine’s past and present tracking down historic, unusual and occasionally illusive apple varieties and their stories. Part travelogue, part mystery and part how-to manual, this book will take you for a ride across Maine and leave you excited to start searching for and identifying the old apple trees in your own neighborhood. It may even inspire you to reflect on how you live in the world and the notion of living your passion. One reviewer called it “a great read even for people who somehow have not been bitten by the heirloom apple bug”. Illustrated with hundreds of photos, as well as John’s signature cartoons and paintings of all the iconic Maine apples. 407 pages in full color.
