About the 1979 edition
of The Original
Tehachapi Apple Book
Apples were a big attraction in Tehachapi, California, in 1979. Growers large and small sold directly to the consumer and many people made their way up to Tehachapi in the fall to buy apples. Claudia Snow (now Claudia Elliott) worked at the Tehachapi News and came up with an idea to create a little apple cookbook as a keepsake that could be sold at the apple sheds and other locations.
