"This is a pretty solid book on the subject. It covers a wide swath of the edible wild plants found in America. The range maps are especially helpful. From them I know, for instance, that wild leeks are not generally found in eastern Iowa but are found across the Mississippi in Illinois.
I also appreciate how the guide in broken up into seasons so you can concentrate on the right portion of the book depending on the time of the year.
However, the depth of information is rather low and sometimes the photos are not precise or thorough enough to be sure of identification. To make up for these deficits I suggest picking up Steven Brill's book on the subject to fill in additional details. The drawings and text in that book compliment this book well."
"Read this twice when I was in high school, along with another book just like it (which I also read twice). You might be bored by it, but I was enthralled!"
