How to Survive off your suburban lot on just greens!
Yes, the book was in very excellent shape! Thank you so much for asking. Also, it was really well bubble wrapped in mailing envelope! Now I'll be cooking & fetching greens from the yard after I really have identified my greens! I don't want any house members missing from our kitchen home! 👍😱😂

5.0 out of 5 stars Great quick reference guide for edible plants
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2013

I ordered this book after checking it and several others out from my local library. It has the best layout of all of them I was able to find. It's easy to flip through because all of the illustrations are on the right page and information about that particular plant is on the left. The drawings show good detail of the leaves, which are in most cases the easiest way to initially identify the plant. Bradford Angier is highly respected in the field, so I trust the information in the book completely. I was able to use the book to positively identify several Serviceberry trees at our local zoo. A nice little snack while watching the bears!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book For Survivalists and Everyone Alike
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2016

While serving with the US Army and during survival training, I found this book to be better than any other. Peterson's Field Guides are okay, but this one by noted outdoorsman Bradford Angier was written with the layperson in mind. I have read numerous "survival" books of his; all are well-written and the drawings by Arthur Anderson make the plants pretty much unmistakable. There is a disclaimer at the beginning, but I highly recommend staying away from plants with white berries, plants with purple stripes and mushrooms.

I wouldn't recommend this book for kids, due to the fact that kids would not be experienced enough to positively identify the plants. I also recommend this little article here:

I am very pleased with this book. It is very thorough, and very easy to get the information needed. Includes alternate names, how each was used in history (natives, pilgrims, etc.), as well as how to prepare and use. Some even warn against including too much of an item in your diet! Can't say enough about this book. Terrific!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Companion to Ewell Gibbon's Stalking the Wild Herbs
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2016
Verified Purchase
I bought the book while I was in North Carolina and found useful information on plants that I knew about in my SE locale. Many of the plants featured in this book were specific to the northern states and Canada. I purchased this copy for a friend who lives in Canada. The drawings, color pictures and descriptions of each plant are detailed and precise, with helpful information about the nutritional values of the plants and how to use the parts (roots, stems, leaves & flowers). This was the second edition, I never read the first edition.

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2017
Verified Purchase
I had this book years ago. It eventually got lost. Recently I got interested in this subject again and bought several books on it. Photographs have their merits. But sometimes clearly drawn pictures (and in color) have an advantage over photos. This book is one of these "sometimes". After struggling with the newer books I'd bought (with photos) I remembered this one and bought it again. Money well spent.
