 Wonderful January 9, 2007

This is a very comprehensive book that I am learning much from. It is exhaustive in showing edible plants, many that I didnt realize.
 Not quite as good as the medicinal August 17, 2006

The pictures aren't good enough to make identification easy. Good information if you have another book to identify the plants with.
perfect choice September 13, 2005

A very good book with many black-and-white drawings and excellent plant descriptions. The author shows well how to identify the edible plants and how to distinguish them from toxic ones that look similar. He also gives practical advice how to cook and eat the edible plants. I only wish the book had more color photographs.
At the end of the book you will find extra sections that help you find edible plants in a specific season. For example, it is spring and you want to make jams, salads, or pickles from a wild plant. The book lists all the plants you can collect during that season. Another section deals with location: which edible plants grow in meadows, wetlands, etc.
The book is well organized, color-coded, fully illustrated, and well indexed.
