Summary: excellent resource!
Review: This is the first book I've found that ever really tells you what wild plants are edible.It's not a "read through" book, but it is eminently valueable for finding out if specific nuts/berries/roots are edible. There are line drawings and Latin names to help with identification. The writing style is informative but not persnicketty. Each plant has 'receipes' and occasionally anecdotes. Infact there are so many 'receipes' that it occasionally comes over as a frusterated gormet cookbook! But don't worry; the first and best purpose is finding out which plants are edible. How to prepare them is merely a bonus. In short, this is what I've been looking for for years: a consise, trustworthy guide to identifying wild edibles.
THE book to own on the subject. amr
