Super great quality, but WHY does one need to place a barcode sticker on the front? I bought this for a gift and now I need to figure out how to remove it.

As far as guides go, this is great for anyone looking to learn about eating plants while frolicking through the forest. It is a small folding brochure weighing a little over 1 ounce and measuring 8 1/4x4 inches when folded up, so it's small enough to keep in your day bag or your bug out bag for when you're playing GI Joe in the woods living out your post-apocalyptic fantasies. As far as the information presented, it is a compact booklet so you may not learn everything there is to know about each plant, but it is enough to know if said plant is fit to shove in your mouth, and that's really all you need from a book on wild edibles. It has 6 different sections grouping plants by which part you can eat (such as "Fruits and Berries," "Leaves, Stems, and Bark," and "Roots/Tubes.") Poisonous plants are also included in their own section. The booklet includes realistic illustrations (not photos) of each plant, so as long as your eyesight is A-OK, identification won't be difficult. The descriptions of each plant typically gives a minor visual description, how to consume it safely without poisoning yourself, and warnings if a plant has any poisonous lookalikes. Included on the back are some common sense warnings and a few handy tips. I'll include a picture of one of the pages to give you a better idea of what you're getting. Why didn't the seller include a sample photo so people could see how the information in the brochure was presented? Seems dumb to leave your buyers guessing what the hell they're gonna get, you'd think the opposite would be desirable for an entrepreneur looking to sell their product

Not water proof. It is water resistant. Holds up in light rain but not submerged in water. Best used as reference to remind you of what you already learned. It is a great cheat sheet but if you never saw the plant before I would not rely on this for identification.

This is everything you want in a lightweight reference guide. It has a lot of useful, relevant information densely packed into a small package, the text is large enough to read but not too large to waste precious space, the pictures are clear, and while the descriptions are terse, they are generally sufficient to give you what you need to identify a plant. The glossy, heavy paper makes it easy to wipe down the guide after getting caught in the rain, but this isn't waterproof, so beware. The lamination is only on the surface, leaving the edges exposed, and dunking this in water will end poorly. All around an excellent product.

A single low quality drawing of a plant does not make for easy certain identification of a plant you intend to eat. I was expecting better and perhaps fully concentrating on plants, not trees, nuts and berries or 1/6th of the contents dedicated to poisonous plants. If i wanted to know about poisonous plants i would but a book on them. Sorry but this is not worth the money or safe to carry around to help identify plants to eat
