Subject: What type of sugar should I use?

I have been making ciders by following a recipe in "The Art of Making 
Wine", a book from the 70s that is still in widespread use.  It 
instructs me to add enough sugar to bring the SG up to 1.060.  The book 
doesn't recommend any type of sugar.  I've been using cane sugar 
purchased from the grocery store.  Will there be any significant 
difference if I use the dextrose that is sold at my local homebrew 
shop? 

Also, is there a wine makers digest?  I have some questions on 
maintaining correct SO2 levels in wine as it matures. 

Thanks, 
Tom
