Review
"A true delight... The descriptions are almost lyrical and a pleasure to read. Each apple comes with its own full-page photo, beautifully shot in natural light...I love the surprising readability of this book. It should be tucked into the backpacks of all apple festival goers. I really can't recommend this book enough." --Powells.com  "Like Facebook for fruit." --NPR   "Opening the pages of Apples of Uncommon Character is like walking into a portrait gallery flooded with russet, bronzed masterpieces bathed in golden light -- forget about Magritte's Granny Smith-bedecked Son of Man, here are the Winesap, the Pound Sweet, the Maiden's Blush and Black Twig, rendered in a vivid prose rarely seen outside of the wine list... For anyone who's willing to get swept up in the grand romance of food, this handsome volume will make for seductive reading." --Morning Edition"Imagine my delight when the book Apples of Uncommon Character landed in my mailbox, a glorious compendium of "123 heirlooms, modern classics, and little-known wonders."  Author and self-described apple geek Rowan Jacobsen does for apples what he did earlier for oysters: he captures in vivid language what makes the flavor of each type unique (with extraordinary photographs by Clare Barboza you want to bite into).  --Melissa Block, All Things Considered  "Stunning" --Seattle Times"The most gripping aspect of James Beard Award winner Rowan Jacobsen's Apples of Uncommon Character is the author's loving, quirky, and so-vivid-it's-like-you're-eating-one-right-now descriptions of 123 different apples." --Bon Appetit                               "Irresistible" --Wall Street Journal"Supremely well executed and written. If you are one of those foodies who actually likes to read, this one's for you." --Christopher Kimball, host of America's Test Kitchen                                                                                              "Best Cookbooks of 2014" --Washington Post, Boston Globe, Wall Street Journal, NPR

Seeing how we're getting into fall I decided to bone up on my apple knowledge and learn about lesser-know apple varieties that I could try while in season. I happened upon this title and decided to give it a go. The book arrived yesterday and I must admit that I'm impressed. First of all the photography is excellent. It's like a fashion show for over 120 different varieties of apples. The author also offers a sincere introduction that sets the stage for what he was attempting to do in writing this book - educate people that there is more to apples than the 5-6 varieties every grocery store in America stocks and that many heirloom varieties are still being rediscovered and enjoyed by new generations of apple lovers. The introduction definitely drew me into the material.The author also does a great job classifying all the varieties in logical sections - summer apples, dessert apples, bakers & saucers, apples that keep well, juicers, and oddballs. I particularly enjoyed reading the story behind the names and in many cases, the farmer who developed the variety.My only criticism would be that many of the varieties of apples where I currently live (Minnesota) aren't covered. It appears that there is a heavy bias toward New England varieties. That shouldn't discourage you from buying this book, however.If you're thinking about discovering some new apple varieties I encourage you to pick up this book. You'll love the history and the photography.
I own a handful of books on apples, and this is by far the best. There is more information here on the flavor, history, and uses of each apple variety than in any of the other books (second place would be Apples for the 21st century, but this is also written more exclusively for the apple grower and does not cover so many varieties). Jacobsen's style is also much more entertaining and literary than any of the others. The photos are unequalled by any of the other books - the apples appear in each photo as a work of art. This is a book that truly can win converts for heirloom apples. It is very useful for either a consumer or an orchardist. Its only fault would be for the grower, who would want more information on growing characteristics, climate and soil limitations and influences, etc, for each variety. For such information, Apples for the 21st century would be better, and complementary (on the limited varieties it covers), though all this is also found in nursery catalogs. A must-buy for anyone interested in apples.
Having read numerous apple books the particularly good thing about this one is the author really tries to tease out descriptions of flavor and texture from the apples. He catches many subtle dimensions of flavor that were "on the tip of my tongue" but I couldn't quite put into words. Apples are many worlds of flavor and texture, the spectrum is quite stunning and this book begins to make a step in getting a deeper understanding. Another distinguishing feature is the writer can actually write and "old saw" apple stories I have read dozens of times before become fresh again. It would be a great book for any foodie-type that likes apples.The book is not perfect however. While it has some very good descriptions about what part of the country the various apples do well in, it is not a book for the grower in that disease propensity etc is not discussed. While it tries to be an American Apple Book, it is more focused on New England than other parts of the country. Its probably for the better though as the descriptions show the varying degrees of familiarity the author has with the different apples - the ones he knows best just sing from the page while some I get the feeling are only vague acquaintances. I also really don't know why mediocre apples are intentionally covered, there are fantastic apples that were left out (including two of my favorites, Hoople's Antique Gold and Freyburg) so we could learn how bad 20-Ounce Pippin is.
This book should be required reading for everyone with an interest in putting historically healthy, storeable food in their bodies. The pictures, descriptions, and history are so enjoyable. Growing up in New England I frequented orchards in the Fall with my mom and dined on Jonathan's, Baldwin's, and Blue Pearmain's. There were literally hundreds of varieties at my fingertips. As an adult, I've noticed a definite change in the grocery store apples. I'm limited to just a handful of varieties and I've developed an allergic reaction to either the pesticides or the protective wax put on the apples. I can't eat them, but thank the heavens for the old orchards and hobbyists that are preserving the old varieties and ways of growing tasty apples. This book inspired me to plant some old varieties in my own yard. Looking forward to harvesting and eating Blue Pearmains, Gray Pearmains, Cox's Orange Pippin, D'Arcy Spice, Baldwin, and Asmead's Kernel. As the author states, we're in a new golden age of apples with a renewed interest in old heirloom apples and the explosion of the hard cider industry. Buy this book, you won't regret it!
This is vintage Rowan Jacobsen, but it's important to know that this is literally a listing of apples old and new, by category, with some very nice recipes thrown in. I found it imminently adable and fascinating stuff, but I'm a food professional - Your results may vary. That said, I've used this book in the farmer's market several times since my first read - We live in western Washington State, where there are a bunch of heirloom varieties showing up - it came in very handy for that. It's a revenge addition to my working library I'm very happy to own. If that sounds good to you, I highly recommend it. If you've not read Jacobsen's American Terrior, do - It's stunningly good, as is, frankly, all his work.
