The book has the information I wanted. It is well organized. accurate, and easy to use as a reference. I did find it to be interesting, even compelling reading. I only wish it had more colored photographs. A very good value for the money. Glad I ordered it.

ive enjoyed my copy for awhile so i went to buy a copy for a gift. i was dissapointed to find that the latest print (the one with the mostly white background on the cover) was made with inferior quality stock for the cover; it is thinner, feels cheap. also, there used to be a convenient printed ruler on the back cover so u could measure plant parts. but it is gone and just replaced by the cheap card stock of the blank back cover. i guess they are trying to cut corners to make more money but i can tell the newer version wont last for years of use like my original one did. a field guide should be made of quality materials to withstand actually taking it into the field. so instead of me buying other petersons field guides for gifts, ive already started purchasing other companies field guides because of better quality.

This book has very clear and decisive writing. Is also very educational on what to look for in the wild. If people are looking for information about living off grid or just living off of what nature has to deliver this book is excellent and will help people learn what is needed for the experience. Two thumbs up on the description and photos and demonstrations.

Out of the dozen or so field guides, and books about wild edibles this ranks right up there with Stalking the Wild Asparagus, the bible of wild edibles. Not only are the descriptions clear, the guide is so well organized that you can search based upon location, time of year, and other factors. Furthermore, the amount of content is exceptional. Here again the only guide I have read that surpasses this one is Stalking, though the organization and cross references in this guide makes it easier to use and more useful. After only two days of reading this book I was able to identify two edible plants on my own property of which I had previously been unaware. I honestly cannot recommend this guide highly enough.
Great book! I'm all about reference books and I use this book often!!! I often find, just thumbing through it, I identify things I remember seeing on my walks that I saw here and there! If your a forager or nature enthusiast? Then this is a great book to have!!!
