If you're an apple enthusiast like me, this book is a treasure trove. The detailed descriptions and stunning photos make it a joy to flip through. I found myself drooling over some of the varieties!

One thing that stood out was the inclusion of disease resistance and growing habits—super helpful for my small home orchard. The stories behind each apple added a personal touch that most reference books lack.

However, I was surprised that well-known apples like Red Delicious, Fuji, and Gala weren’t included. The title does specify 'North America,' so it makes sense, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a comprehensive guide.

Overall, this book is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in apples, whether you're a casual fan or planning to plant your own orchard. Just be prepared—it might make choosing which apples to grow even harder!
