I Use this book so much, I have TWO copies - one for home and one for travel and cabin use. It has excellent photos and descriptions of Alaska's edible and poisinous plants - each plant includes 2 pages of information - historical uses by Alaskan pioneers and Native Peoples - in detail, so that you could try the same thing - how to eat / use them, when to pick them, precuations, and recipes for use. It is divided into habitat sections (ie woodlands, dry areas, beaches, mountains, meadows), so it is very easy to use. It also includes all of the Alaska wild berries with recipes like Highbush Cranberry Castsup.
I bought this for my husband for his trip to Alaska in the spring. He was very excited and looks forward to using it on his travels.

A very handy book for those interested in wild Alaska edible plants. The author is thorough and knows her subject thoroughly. Helpful when identifying the various species, very good pictures and descriptions. Includes a section on the deadly poisonious plants.
We will be moving to Alaska soon and will benefit greatly from this book!
