Apples and the Art of Detection

January 5, 2020 | Posted in People

What does the music of Sun Ra, 16th century Basque whaling ships, wanted posters, and Sherlock Holmes all have in common?

Well in the mind of John Bunker, the preeminent American apple expert and resident of Palermo Maine, the answer is Apples of course!

In 2019 the world of apple enthusiasts around the globe was enriched when Bunker published his new book Apples and the Art of Detection.
Part instruction manual, part autobiography, and part history, Bunkers new book is fascinating start to finish. You can pick up at a copy at Rabelais Books in Biddeford or online at the Out on a Limb Apple CSA.
