The RRP as set by the publishers is now £7.99, down this month from
£9.99 (original price £12.99). They said sales had fallen off, and they

I would tend to agree. Hopefully the reduced sales Andrew referred to are a result of pretty much every cider-maker having by now a copy.
Through Claude’s website, I spoke to the agent in the UK for his book, about getting a few for us Irish enthusiasts, so I will be ordering a few copies from them. Meanwhile, I see this morning that Amazon have ALREADY discounted it from RRP £32.99 to £26.

It is also commonplace for specialist books like ours aimed at the
amateur market to be heavily discounted after a couple of years or so
(if indeed they even remain in print). That doesn't apply so much to
