1 out of 5 stars Not British!   November 9, 2004
 125 out of 128 found this review helpful

This book might well be very good for those of you living or planning to live in America, as it is a field guide to edible plants in Central / Eastern America. Not as I had expected, a field guide to edible plants in the UK. As this small but important fact is not mentioned in the book's description, I thought I should point it out before someone else mistakenly buys it for use in the UK.


4 out of 5 stars Well written.   March 14, 2003

This book is very well written. it contains over 400 drawings and 78 color photos, to help in the identification of the mentioned plants. Each entry contains information on habitat, when they flower, a description and the uses. Also conatins any applicable warnings. The line drawings are very accurate and are more than enough, when coupled with the descriptions, to be able to identify just about any plant. But if you have any doubts, check the color photos. Also, at the back of the book, it contains the various types of plants divided up into habitat, and then each habitat divided into what plants can be harvested there during various seasons. This book is a great resource for any survivalist's bookshelf.


5 out of 5 stars excellent reference book   July 15, 1998

Best book I've ever seen on the subject. Very thorough right down to the line drawings, which give you more information than I've seen of most photos.
