The intention of the book is to be a "guide for real cider-loving connoisseurs". The most recent edition, published in 2005, contains details of over 550 cider outlets (pubs, clubs and off licences), and claims to include every producer in the UK.[1] Producers and outlets are listed separately by county with maps and full directions, and there are also articles about cider and perry history, cider and perry making, and cider abroad.[2]
As a CAMRA publication, the emphasis is on producers and outlets that produce "real cider", as defined by CAMRA.[3]
