History Chapter in New Edition of Maple Syrup Producers Manual

Matthew M. Thomas

Recently the revised and updated 3rd edition of the North American Maple Syrup Producers Manual was released as a FREE digital download in PDF format. The newest edition was many years in the making since the 2nd edition came out in 2006.

With this latest edition, I am happy to share that I was asked to contribute as a co-author by revising and expanding the previous chapter titled History of Maple Syrup and Sugar Production, written by Dr. Melvin Koelling.

To get access to the complete download of the manual, send a blank email to mapleproducersmanual@gmail.com and you will receive a link to view and download the 434-page manual.

On-demand print versions of the complete manual will be available for sale in the next few months. If you are interested in a PDF copy of the history chapter I helped write, you can read and download a PDF of only the history chapter here or by clicking on the image of the article.
