Even though I would have done a few things differently (like having a more detailed "Table of Contents", so the reader can know how the families, genus', species, subspecies, etc. are more easily broken down - throughout the almost 600 pages of the book)...nonetheless: THIS BOOK STANDS ALONE! This is not a book that will help (the casual) "weekender" of edible plants, be able to go out into the woods and bring in a treasure of edible plants; no, that's not the value of this book (one needs a field guide for that, complete with color pictures...and the field guide would do a better job). The value here and why it stands alone, is because of the absolutely incredible level of research and knowledge that's within your hands, allowing you to take (any) other book on plants (whether edible or not)...and then determine if the plant(s) in the other book(s) are in fact edible, and what parts. There's more, but to me, this is the value; and THIS value is unique and unmatched. Jim from WI.

Of the 4,000 species listed in this book, only 147 species have a drawing to go with them. Some of those species are already very identifiable and didn’t need a drawing, most know what a pine cone, blackberries and cannabis look like. The 147 that do have a drawing, have a simple ink drawing with no color and I’d think a person would have to be an expert to begin with to match any actual living plant to any one of these drawings. I was hoping to learn which plants were edible and identify them but I won’t be able to get that from this book. Also there are no physical descriptions of the species.
