PROS: Im happy with this product because, it has the pictures of the plants along with descriptions. A lot of plants look the same and it helps to have details of the non edible plants. It has a CAUTION at the bottom of page when plant looks like other..CONS: some plants are from South America or other places other than American so, if you need more local plants do more research.. MPO (My Personal Opinion)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good info but blurry photos
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2024
Verified Purchase
I got this book today and submitted to return it today. The only reason I am returning it is due to the pictures. The information in the book is great but the pictures of every plant are slightly blurry/ low quality. They look just like pictures that were printed from a basic home printer on paper. This is just my opinion. I would definitely have kept it if the picture quality was better but I know if I’m out in a serious situation where I need to know what plants to eat I want to have really good pictures to be able to refer to.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Book, Not A Great Field Guide
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2023
Verified Purchase
The book is fine. Pictures could be more clear, but they are usable. The information is good but could be more detailed. As a result, the reader might get confused distinguishing between a desired plant, and a close relative.

The only real issue is the guide is not organized by region, or plant type. It is organized alphabetically. So you have to know what you are looking for in order to find it...which almost defeats the point of the book.

It is a fun read though, and has interesting information like "can you eat this raw?" and sometimes basic information on "how to cook this plant."

In short, I don't regret buying this book, but I am still looking for a good field guide.

It is very easy to understand and the graphic of the plants are good. I would recommend anybody to get this book. It's small enough to carry, light weight and a easy to research edible plants on a hike or a stroll in a forest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Basic, Very Global
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2009
Verified Purchase
This book is perfect for beginners interested in learning about edible wild plants. It clearly states specific precautions when making selections, and definitely stays between the lines as far as picking plants that are easy for newbies to identify as edibles. Warnings are clearly labeled and easy to read. It reviews some basic basic plant anatomy, but just enough to be helpful with identifications without confusing a beginner. It also covers plants that are potentially dangerous if consumed in whole or in part.

It covers plants found around the globe in various ecosystems ranging from artic to tropic to desert conditions. The color pictures give good detail for identifications. The digital drawings not so much, but they're not bad.

Although it definitely does not even begin to cover the broad range of edible plants actually present in the world, it covers enough of the safe ones, both endemics and cultivated crops, for most situations where one's survival might hinge on this kind of knowledge.
