although it contains everything you would ever need to know about edible and medicinal plants, it is a bit long and dry in some of the chapters. of course, if you are having to depend upon yourself for edibles and medicinals, this would be the book to have in your hands when you first start out.

Pros- Has very good info on the identification of plants, where found, what part is edible, how to eat or use and some of the similar plats to be aware of and there differences. A must have for foraging. Cons- Pictures are in black and white BUT, a person can easily find color pictures and add it to the book or make your own addendum, which most people will do with any book that they feel needs more info. A person should look at what plants are in their area and obtain good color photos of those plants.

Easy to read and understand. Some humor in it too. Practical application and a ton of information. Pictures are awesome sketches. No color pictures is the only drawback.

I like how descriptive the book is about each plant and the drawings are very detailed. He writes it as if he were talking to you, going off on tales about past experiences and giving personal opinions. There are many plants in the index as well as recipes for the plants. There are separate indexes that allow you to find what you need very easily, I was very pleased to see this. What I did not like about it was that it was a very large softcover book which makes it a semi-annoyance if you plan on carrying it with you when collecting plants, but it is worth it because the pictures can be larger. Very great book and I recommend that everyone have a copy.
Wide range of good information.
