1.0 out of 5 stars Not British!, 9 Nov 2004

By	S Deschamps (UK) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written., 14 Mar 2003

By	Detra Fitch (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent reference book, 15 Jul 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants of Eastern and Central North America (Peterson Field Guides) (Paperback)

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.
